	This article is supported by the Touring car taskforce.

I suggest there be a standard italicised link just below the main title that reads "This page is for information on DTM from 1984-1996. For the current DTM please see Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters"... or something to that effect.

"Team Champions"[edit]

The Champions table shows manufacturer names rather than team names in the “Team Champion” column and these are not supported by any cited sources. Do we have any references for the listed “Team Champions”? If not, I propose that they be deleted. GTHO (talk) 02:19, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Team Champion column removed from table. GTHO (talk) 02:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling[edit]

I doubt that the spelling Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft is correct. At least, it does not make a lot of sense. Is this just a name? --Johannes Maximilian (talk) 23:17, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I know this is a bit late, but why do you doubt it? Why does it not make sense? It is the name used on the German Wikipedia. If you have an issue with it Johannes Maximilian, I suggest you take it up with them. X750. Spin a yarn? _{Articles I've screwed over?} 04:04, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

These German words make no sense in that arrangement. They literally mean Germans Touringcars Championship, but they don't translate into English as German Touring Car Championship. Best regards, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 06:48, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input, Johannes Maximilian. The peer-reviewed Google translation says otherwise, as do other similar dedicated German-English dictionaries. Maybe it's just one of those things. How bizarre. X750. Spin a yarn? _{Articles I've screwed over?} 07:34, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ITC versus ITCC[edit]

@X750 The "International Touring Car Championship" was known as ITC, not ITCC. A range of sources back this up - including the logo of the championship spelling ITC (23:50 in), recent media reports, PR reports, or magazines from the time ("The ITC gets its post-mortem" page 80 Autosport 5 December 1996). I'll revert your changes shortly. Turini2 (talk) 20:40, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Turini2 as long as that's the local consensus I have no problem with it. I'll correct it in the CLK GTR's article too. You might also want to check out the ITCC dab. Should be changed accordingly too. X750. Spin a yarn? _{Articles I've screwed over?} 20:49, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah great, I suspected there's a few errors around! Thanks :) Turini2 (talk) 20:50, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
