Well, GS has grown by 50% over last year, which is hardly stellar, considering the numbers they're coming from, but the place where cars are being lost this year is ST, with a field that has dropped by almost 40% over last year.

The reasons for this drop are pretty obvious, I think: With no firm commitment by the management to ST having a future in the series, teams are not very eager to build new cars, while the old cars are slowly dwindling away.
