In the past a plum seat in a good team was exactly that, primarily because teams ran just two cars. Demand would outstrip supply. Carlin decided to expand to meet the demand and ended up last year running 6 cars. It's not unreasonable to believe that most well heeled drivers would want a Carlin seat, be that based on hype or fact. It follows therefore that, unchecked, Carlin could potentially have continued to expand - this year 8 cars, next year 10 cars, then 12 the year after and so on. It's not inconceivable to believe that eventually they would have a monopoly and the other teams would cease to exist. In order to protect their own viability, the other teams want Carlin limited to a lower [than 6] number of cars next year than this.
o Should all teams be limited to fielding just 2 cars ? Would that improve the racing or the health of the series ?
o Should Carlin [or anyone else] be allowed to run as many cars as they like ? Would/is that damaging the series ?
o Should BF3 go 'communist' like F2 and have the entire series run by one outfit ?
Forget about recessions or economic crises. These are the important questions of our time
