no, the series are taking a realistic approach and not penalising them this season.

wec for example still penalise tens of thousands of euros for registered entries missing rounds, in addition to the cost for the entry for the full season. many series discourage all but those funded for a full season because it keeps the grid numbers stable amongst other things. in better economic times and when series are booming series can pick and choose which entries they accept. but obviously in times like we're seeing now with relatively few youngsters progressing through the ladder (a delayed consequence of the economic flap a few years ago) organisers will need to take an increasingly pragmatic approach to it all.
