While this question may have not been answered in some fans minds, I think the major manufacturers in racing have already answered this with a "Yes" in most cases. Obviously, Audi, Toyota, Porsche, Nissan and now Ford have responded with their answers and it is a 'Yes'. If the teams are attempting to justify the tremendous expenses to the Board of Directors, then attempting to explain that the expenses are just for fun and entertainment of a small crowd doesn't get you too far.
