It is the way it is, purely for the sake of Supercars being able to own and control as much of the IP as possible. From the appearance and specs of the cars, right down to the nuts and bolts.
There are less and less off the shelf parts on them now than ever before. Everything has a Supercars branding on it.
Try putting that one past a corporate Audi, BMW etc motorsport arm, which typically controls it's own destiny.
