It's simple economics really.

IMFAR Rule 5.1 SURFACE
Pack able rock free dirt - preferably sifted top soil/clay compound with minimum amounts of sand. Surface should be able to be easily broken and repaired to ensure a consistent and wide racing line.
Nothing to do with marketing, it's an IFMAR Rule that must be met by the organiser. Not quite sure how the astro tops to the double and quad got through, I guess every Bloc agreed to it prior to the event. Having said which, most cars never touched them much anyway!! HTH
