The interesting part to me is that Ciceley hold the IP rights to the A-Class, which means that Laser Tools were not able to develop it.
I can understand that from teams like Dynamics or WSR, who have built their cars. The questions I still have though are:

Why couldn't a.n.other team build an A-Class, and develop it to their specification?
Does the same apply for something like the Hyundai - where now it has been homologated by Excelr8, does that mean they own the IP?
Can IP transfer once a team no longer runs a car - such as the FK2 Civics?
Are Dynamics more willing to accept teams developing their IP (such as BTC), than WSR?
