It's F1 trying to plug the gap left by the demise of sportscars.

Formula One doesn't need to be about road relevance, nor should it be. It's meant to be about building cars to go round a track as quickly as possible. Nothing more, nothing less.

It's the FIA's job to ensure it's done safely and (sort of) affordably. Again, nothing more, nothing less.

I'm not sure what Todt is trying to do here with motor sport, he seems to have one policy and one policy only - to downsize everything in every single category. And with the FIA announcing the WEC, where does any category have its USP?
