I think what that part of the sport needs to do is rediscover it's roots when you had an easy to understand formula like Formula Ford 1600 and whoever wanted to could build a car to the rules. And it was so popular you could pretty much run just about every weekend somewhere. Everyone knew who the best drivers were because they all had a chance to compete with one another.

So now you have all these single make series that might be popular for a year or two as the next big thing before people are onto something else. And because these single make series are all built around one sole car from one manufacturer with a sole source of high marked up spare parts prices, once the life of that particular car is up, the series is dead or pretty much has to reboot itself.

I say get back to the basics, especially at the lower levels. You don't need F1 tech or over complication at that level.
