I personally don't believe a top level of motorsport can be made cheap no matter the rules. The teams will alwas spend how much is worth the title - and that's the more the more audience is watching, i.e. with more expensive and more spectacular cars the teams can spend more than with boring cars nobody really likes to watch (i.e. British championship few years back).
Maybe I wasn't too clear, but I mostly meant that while it might spice up the top class a bit now in terms of amount of competing manufacturers and privateers, it probably wouldn't last as the costs would go up and most would disappear. And of course, we would lose a good secondary class.
