How does it exist? At the behest of its teamowners, sponsors, series owners, patrons & benefactors. Like most other series I should think.
Good answer, but it sounds a bit like something out of the PR dept at IndyCar. I still wonder where the demand for such a series originates. Clearly it is not among the fans, as they do not go to the races or watch on TV. Sponsors, for the most part have been difficult to attract and retain (See: Izod).

What you are posting here is the reasoning behind having such a series.

Who is demanding it? It seems to me that this is a series being offered in a vacuum of fan and sponsor interest.
