The reasons for this drop are pretty obvious, I think: With no firm commitment by the management to ST having a future in the series, teams are not very eager to build new cars, while the old cars are slowly dwindling away.
I don't think there's actually been a new car built for the series in a few years.

They're too expensive to convert from the street car. Modern factory electronics are a *****.
