That might speak to the level of parity within the series though, which is arguably a strong, positive feature.
If not for Scotty/Ludo/Penske the racing this year would have been fantastic with varied results and good fights- exactly what you'd expect from a parity series.
Trying to entice manufacturers with the two door option has led to the current situation - it was always going to be akward to homologate substantially different body shapes.
I've always maintained a move away from manufacturers would be successful. Why don't we throw the drivers in Super 5000 cars? I don't think you'd lose any fans, plus you'd probably gain former F1 fans from overseas, yearning for simpler, louder cars. Don't have to worry about the whims of manufacturers, what models are market relevant etc.
