Its much like the evolution of F1, much as the fans may not like it, the reality is that manufacturers want to showcase cars that represent where their businesses are heading, and that is not down the V8 path.
If manufacturer support is to return, a clean sheet approach needs to be adopted much like the BTCC did a few years ago, rather than manipulating to allow retention of V8s. Otherwise the series and teams needs to be structured on the assumption that manufacturer support will not be forthcoming.
