The problem is, motorsport everywhere is becoming effectively one make racing. Even where they're not, the dreaded parity or balance of performance systems mean manufacturers make variations of the same car. There is nowhere a manufacturer genuinely competes against another using a car which is derived directly from what they put on the road. Which is unfortunate.

V8s have added another layer of problem by effectively limiting the manufacturers, and producing a car which is specific to a small market. It increases the cost and reduces the return. The basic idea of the cars is great - we're all very jealous - but it's now becoming bespoke cars built by specialist teams without needing any manufacturer input and is probably unsustainable in it's current form.
