We recently had a discussion about the same topic in our forum - although focussed on the FIA-GT there are some common points
- the costs of the machinery have reached a limit where also in the past the number of teams able to compete are very limited. If your budget for a competetive new car is exceeding 1 Mio Euro the number of teams able to spend this sums shrinks dramatically (this also is valid for LMP-cars)
- at this sums wealthy collectors, interested in racing-historys of such cars are needed as partners, but this only applies for certain makes - don´t know that much Saleen-collectors, compared to Ferrari- Maserati- or Lamborghini-collectors.
- additionally in the US there is not that "Sportscar & GT-culture" (how I would call that) than in Europe - tube-frame-spec-racers are (from my impression) the preferred machinery for the sport.
