I think the picture indeed gets bigger: the perfect reason why low budget racers are quitting and will not attract newcomers. The perfect reason why pit space won't need to expand due to either fewer but bigger rigs, or fewer racers all together. It's a drop in the bucket until travel costs parallels the overall costs. The figures are still relative. Think about it.
