Can anyone name a brand that dominates consistently in any series of racing? Probably not.

Meh, not really. No more bespoke motors, dwindling numbers of manual gearboxes, M badges every 2 inches on every other car, and M cars believe it or not used to be hand built. They're just not special like they used to be.
The E30 reign of terror was almost 30 years ago.
Audi has been pretty dominant in endurance racing for the past 15 years now. BMWs racing niche has been and always will be touring cars. I don't think I need to mention what the 911 has done worldwide. |
I'm not aware of any race series that Audi dominates in. DTM....NO, GT Series....NO, I could be wrong but there is no series Audi dominates. The R8 is like 9 years old. Mercedes hasn't done a thing in DTM the last 5 years. I do agree that the M badging has gone mad and overly applied across platforms but the M4 is a beast. It just sounds like a wet fart IMO.
