Yes, was always going to be the case at one point or another....

Cost will be a factor but this is a professional racing series isn't it and real racing costs real money. The knee jerk changes being made make the managers of the category look like teachers catching a five year old doing something wrong and scolding them all because they did not supervise the child properly.

Without VSC telling us, you would have to assume that the independent aero consultant they bought in, D2H, that they've gone over all the CFD data from all the cars to get an idea of what is happening. Even Dutton over at T8 said that testing in a rolling road tunnel is far better than on a aerodrome.
The stupid thing is, they're testing the cars to 200km/h, not what's happening after. They've bought this onto themselves more than anything by having such parameters. It's red faces all round...
Either way, if the thing keeps winning, they'll only make more of a farce by handicapping it more over the Holden.
