What are DTM cars? Sorry I'm old

The cars included in the DTM pack:

Audi V8 Quattro DTM
BMW M3 E30 DTM
Mercedes-Benz 190 E DTM

Since this is a rather subjective picture, I wonder whether you all think of them along similar lines.

I prefer the BMW out of the three, but that is mostly because I prefer it in real life.  I find it is the hardest to control, but the fastest when everything comes together.  The Audi is the most civilised and the easiest to get a competitive time with.  The Mercedes feels like it is slower, but has more lateral grip.  They all obviously have similar straight line performance so the difference I perceive might just be based on my opinion of the real cars.

I'm happy with either Saturday or Sunday.  It doesn't make a difference for me.

I can definitely help with real world information and terminology.  If you need me to proof read anything, just let me know.

You guys do whatever suits you best.  I'm usually up late at night but like I said, I'm happy to get up early for a race.

Cas, I've experienced those bugs with the music and no sound many times as well and in my experience, it is not specific to a single car or set of cars.

My time zone is GMT+10.  If it means that more people can participate, I'm happy to get up early!

After reading Duplode's notes, I realised that I have experienced this bug after loading a few replays as well.  However, as Duplode mentioned, it is not restricted to crashing.  Since I'm a Windows user, I can confirm that it occurs with the Windows version of DOSBox as well.

When I first started playing Stunts in 1996, I ran it natively in MS-DOS, however I only had the PC speaker for sound.  I don't recall this bug occurring, but it was a long time ago, so it's possible that it did.

I know there are quite a few bugs in relation to sound that occur when running the game in DOSBox.  Sometimes when starting a race, there will be no sound at all.  I don't recall anything specific to crashing though, although that's not to say it hasn't happened before at some stage, but definitely not regularly.

Is there a way I can choose which topics to follow or to clearly see when there's something new?
