Also, another problem is aero rules. The ACO have pretty well clamped down on what teams can or can't do. That means that teams (like in F1) are spending tons of money and resources for IMO marginal returns on investment.
Stuff like the splitter feet and this or that flap or gurney probably only produce results in a wind tunnel and may or may not make any big difference on the track.
The ACO IMO can do with opening up development on the chassis and aero front, since that's cheaper than pigeon holing on the whole hybrid/alternative fuels/powertrain stuff. Some active or more adjustable aero can help with that.
