But wouldn't the manufacturers just roll out a replacement? Like Ferrari did with the 430-458 and Aston the DBRS9-V12 Vantage. Audi will just build a GT3 version of the R8 replacement, BMW the Z4, and so on. Old models will phase out and new ones will come in. The models will phase in and out, but the formula should be constant. Coming out with new rules is what will lead to us looking at the same cars for years as no one will invest in new machinery. Durheimer must be furious; the rules intended completely change after 2014, Bentley's first full season. The future regulations could prevent the Conti from competing after that.
