And of course the world economy has to be good enough to allow spoiled billionaire sons to come and fill the field. Motor racing (F1 excluded) is making less and less sense financially for manufacturers to get to the general public; unless the Chinese become big time motorsport junkies soon...
Yay.

I disagree, the motor industry is fighting for it's very existence, particularly sportscar manufactuers.
For such manufactuers to prosper, they'll have to maintain current performance levels, and improve efficiency significantly. Even if this technology is perfected, you still need to sell it to the public.
Those in trouble are series that don't have technology relevant to road cars, and who's very existent is for entertainment alone.
