Man I wish I had seen that.

DTM is cool. I wonder if Paffet will replace Heikki.

I am not following DTM intentionally because SpeedTV is supposed to broadcast the races during the off season, don't want to spoil the anticipation.

I am curious though, is Ralf Schumacher doing anything special in DTM or he is proving once again that he is not competitive?
