I see your points and reasoning Andy.
but to a certain extent is that not what club and regional level is for?
you also have 'national' events for F2's and F3/4/5's etc...?
to a certain extent you can battle with your piers at nationals too with the 'top Fx' trophies etc...
the major cost(s) I see is tires and travel/accomodation right now with motors and batteries we are trying quite hard to slow them down to make them driveable. I don't think team drivers have advantage with batteries having the better stuff, and the 'budget' equipment is so good right now that you can have a fast car.
performance on race day comes down to setup, tires and driving I think. one of them is a 'cost' item.
that cost item is not 'free' for as many drivers as you might think.
I don't want to stand against your argument, but I want to understand exactly what you mean and where you want to go.
