Set those limitations, and the vehicles then define themselves. Manufacturer involvement? I don't know; did MARC require approval from Ford and Mazda before going down their path? Power and engine type? That's a big issue, with various paths that could be followed. Then there's control parts - reduce them, or leave as they are? BoP, parity, or neither?

MARC has proven you can make something look good and race fast, and still have some showroom look to it, but we're still talking a $250k car to build, right?
Maintenance costs are lower, but if we want a sustainable series without million dollar manufacturer involvement, we need to think about how to put on the same sort of show without the huge spend.
