As long as manufactures are involved that will always happen. You have the examplte of the TCR cars. When the concept was introduced you had a lot of brands and companies working making cars. Since Hyundai and Lynk&Co. appeared the championship started to be extremely expensive and you almost can see privateers ono the grid. They will end up leaving when they realise that the investment is bigger that what they are gettingt in terms of media return.
