You under-estimate the abilities of the minnows of the sport at your peril.
For example, the Williams group of companies sold one of their companies in the last few weeks to GKN. The company was Williams Hybrid Power, which developed and manufactured William's (and Audi's) flywheel-based energy harvesting and storage system.
The system is already in initial trials on a publically used city bus, and has demonstrated huge fuel savings for the operator. So, don't write off the little guys; they are not incapable of developing ground breaking technology.
