I would disagree. They don't make money on the car, but on the spares and replacement parts as you know. Reynard, Swift, and Lola were all profitable with a handful of cars in CART. Plus having their chassis in the top tiered series acts as a billboard to sell a greater number of cars in the lower formulae. The real issue may be a single supplier greasing the palm of the series for the contract and on the residual revenue.
