You've said it yourself, people have pulled millions out of the sport and walked away. Archer are now only invested in the sport to make money. No other reason just like CVC in F1.
I guess in some ways V8SC are very much like F1. Ferrari get cash just for showing up which is kind of like 888 being used to manufacture components of the COFT. Right from the get go they are at a financial advantage compared to other teams. The rich get richer while the others struggle.
That isn't a bash of 888 either, they have done nothing wrong. Set themselves up and making the most of it.
