That was a few years ago. It's been dying a slow death for years but the fact that you have had a dominant chassis (Mygale) and a dominant team (Jamun) started a decline which was exacerbated by Ford inexplicably introducing the expensive carbon fibre turbo "Ecoboost" this year thereby rendering the excellent and relatively affordable Duratec cars obsolete overnight.
As far as I can see the grids this year have been pathetic, which is a real shame because in previous years there has been some great racing and some real talent in the series.
Something had to be done. Whether this is it or not I don't know, but at least it's an effort to get back to a sensible budget in a car you can run yourself. Time will tell I guess.
