Cost down? Does F1 have short track, mid track, super speedway, and road course cars? How many cars does it take to run a top level CUP team these days? More than a handful. How many shop employees does Hendrick or Roush have vs a top F1 team? Don't kid yourself. there's big bucks involved both above and under the table. You cannot look at just what a single car cost. You have to look at the big picture.
