Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button opens the press conference ahead of the first DTM-versus-SUPER GT racing weekend by telling everyone to give themselves a "pat on the back" for getting the unified Class One to this stage.
He's right, if only because the next step for DTM and SUPER GT looks daunting as the practice sessions begin at Hockenheim, with no-one any the wiser as to how the two different series will match up.
