i suppose you could maybe say that the cost of competing has gone up in a similar way to buying a home has, ie it's several times more expensive outright, but the situation is completely different to how it was back then. for example, mortgages now are easier to come by and culturally it's normal to own a home and owe a substantial amount of money on it versus previously it wasn't normal to either own a home or have a huge amount of debt. equally paying for a season in f4 with a big team gets you quite a lot more than a transit van and an easyup. whether you actually want or need all that is another matter.
