DTM interest waning?

Attendance for today's DTM race at Brands Hatch was far below the Champ Car race held at the track a few years ago. We were surprised how small the crowd was. If you remember the Champ Car race they had installed some temporary grandstands opposite the pits. For the DTM there was only one and it wasn’t full (even though they said the grandstand tickets were sold out). At one time DTM drew huge crowds everywhere, but now one manufacturer has pulled out and the attendance isn't what it used to be at some venues.
