Who says they have to? Just because Audi spent something like $150, 200 million, does that mean everyone else has to? No, it doesn't. The new rules like two body kits instead of three means teams don't have to worry about tunnel hours going to an additional version of the car. There's no one to blame but VAG who spent so much money they set a precedent to compete. With Audi gone and new rules, the wec has said cost cutting is one of if not the top agenda. If anyone read the news and the interviews, they would know this. It seems like most don't bother, they just want to blame the rule makers because they feel hybrids are bad and the reason why it's expensive.
