I think the governing body is tone-deaf to the conditions of the market.
with VAG out and others on the fence they're going to make everyone integrate a new ECU and it is already causing issues between the competitors. Hyundai spent a bunch of money to get it to go, and a bunch of others just applied for exemptions and were granted them, and it just so happens they are winning.
The reasoning for the change is to allow stronger equalisation between the cars, but like the change to the gearbox, we are now increasing costs and moving further away from production-based racing and into bespoke racing cars.
After all this is exactly the kind of death of a thousand paper cuts that saw the winged EB and VP turn into the cut and shut COTF cars.
