I just found
this Racecar Engineering article by Sam Collins about customer cars. He's concerned about the lack of places where young engineers can develop cars, but thinks that allowing customer cars would help F1.
Now, here's the best quote:
Quote:
Marussia too is trying to build up its reputation as a car manufacturer, something that would no doubt be helped by actually manufacturing more than a handful of street cars, but by the same token its target market would probably not know the difference between a customer car and an in house design, nor I feel would they care.
