Many attempts have been made to set up semi-spec series over the years which just die away after a little burst of attention?
And that is in spite of them supplying what many here would suggest is what they want in "Good racing". Such series can, and do, continue as National or regional (ie Indy) series but never as the "International peak of the sport" that F1 claims to be.
The advanced technology of F1 is what sets it apart. Any significant watering down of that situation will be opposed by a very significant proportion of the fan base as well as the teams and manufacturers.
The underlying basic problem is that F1 provides both the WDC and the WCC and ther will always be tension between the two. The original concept of F1 was to provide a competition for the WDC. The WCC came later as in the early stages of F1 (1950s) sports car endurance racing was seen as the proper competition for manufacturers and teams to demonstrate superiority.
Maybe moving back to that separated situation has merit?.
