Another question might be whether Supercars considers having its own proprietary vehicle construction regulations as being integral to it's perceived value?

Only because the teams themselves would have to divest of huge amounts of staff, at massive cost, if they suddenly were no longer developing and manufacturing cars.

And Roger would have nowhere to spend $20m to get ahead...

Plenty of jobs have been lost in the Supercars industry in the last 23 years, for reasons that were described as progress, why should this be any different?

Teams want cheaper cars, here’s a way of doing it.

This kind of move would be a seismic shift, akin to losing car manufacturing.

The huge job losses in such a concentrated area would mean a lot of people who wouldn't easily again find similar work.

This is why the teams themselves might be seen to be their own worst enemy, and resistant to change.

So if Supercars moved from a control chassis and a silhouette formula, to a production chassis; this would be akin to Ford/Holden/Toyota quitting manufacturing in Australia??

Pace Innovations wouldn't be able to further diversify their operations?
Welders and fabricators can't be re-positioned or re-employed?

They're not adaptable to change; yet in many cases have gone from Blueprint to Gen2 without much trouble?
