I'll probably still go to the DTM as it's a rare event, but the GP circuit is 95% ruined now for spectators.

Yeah, I read a few articles at the start of the year that said it was a requirement for DTM. Brands have subsequently denied that, but I had heard the same thing as you with regards to the fencing on the Indy circuit as well, so it would make sense.
I was really excited about seeing the DTM on the GP loop, but the new fencing has pretty much wiped that out. Perhaps I'll feel different nearer the time, but at the moment I'm not inclined to go back to Brands again.
