The present franchise system and the way the cars are regulated and built is one of the reasons that is inevitably going to lead to its demise. Unfortunately in professional motor sport there are a group of people who see that making money trumps entertainment and they will hang on by their bloody finger nails to protect what they have.

The parity line of thinking is another reason to think that there will be no injection of interest from other manufacturers and when and if Holden reduce or remove their interest all of a sudden it will be back to a semi professional series if it survives. Less greed and self interest and more understanding of why the decline is happening would go a long way to finding an answer to a problem that was obvious from the very beginning and the reason that the series was originally started which was to create wealth for a few select people. Don't give me the line that it was to promote motor racing and make teams viable, that won't wash, the underlying reason was a wealth creation exercise.

So right the dreaded equity funds who have no interests other than making max profits with absolutely no interest in the source of the income or the future of said source.
