It wasn't a case of spending more to keep up, it was "you can't run that here mate, off out of it"

The reason why rule changes were introduced was due to the fact that numbers were already falling significantly. The rule changes just totally finished it off rather than save it as the organisers hoped, mostly because the changes were made without consulting the existing drivers. Certainly a lesson to be learnt!
