You wouldn't think that, due to the rules, the Japanese would be able to drown the sport in cash like they have been able to do in other series. But they'll probably find a way. Just remember, restrictive rules don't always mean cheap racing. Even if the only part they're allowed to work on is the steering wheel, someone will spend tens of millions of dollars researching the steering wheel that allows their drivers to gain 1/10000 of a second per lap. No matter how restrictive some rules are, you can almost always gain something by just throwing money at a race team.
