A transition to TCR or GT3 rules would be further complicated by the fact that there are already established racing series that follow those rulesets in Germany.
Apparently the ITR leadership is thinking about falling back on their old Plan B, which is to use the GTE ruleset, as Strike_Zero and Adrian_Thompson suggested. Car-wise it kind of makes sense, as the GTE cars are significantly faster than their GT3 cousins while retaining much of the road cars' features. Plus there are lots of other cool GTE cars that the BMWs could compete against (including a bunch of privateer Porsches that would probably enter just to run in a top-tier sprint race series).
It would just be super awkward for BMW because they literally just mothballed their full-time WEC GTE program so they could concentrate on DTM.
That makes sense since mercedes and Audi could upgrade their gt3 cars to gte and possibly allow a return of Aston Martin since they have the gte vantage.
