I realise it will only ever be a thought exercise, but I wonder how the real-terms spend on chassis now compares to then - given that this was the one of the main reasons given by the ACO to support the restriction.

I think one of the other justifications was that it wasn't sustainable to have lots of constructors only building a couple of cars each. All very well if you are one of the selected constructors (unless you build a Riley/Multimatic Mobile Chicane Mk30). Same for the engine builders but that just kills the ones that don't get chosen.
