It seems like manufacturers and money are returning to motoracing at the moment:
Porsche & Nissan in Sportscars, not to mention Mazda and SRT(Viper) in the US, more good privateer linkups too. ORECA and Rebellion, Dome and Strakka, more input from OAK in LMP1 and new LMP2 vehicles available.
Volkswagen, Hyundai and Toyota in WRC.
Honda and Citroen in WTCC.
BMW in DTM.
Nissan & Volvo in V8SC
The only manufacturer casualty i can think of this year at the moment is Lotus, but they overstretched themselves and were "branding" rather than manufacturer exercises.
Of course this manufacturer interest is not necessarily a good thing and of course will be cyclical.
But to be honest im happy too see a few years good racing, happy with the general trend and most of all happy F1 isnt acting as a black hole for racing money and talent for once.
