The main aim with the limited number of allowed modifications is to keep the cost of entry low, such that the brand new championship actually gets entrants. It's hard to justify a large budget for an unheard of championship.

I was really excited for FE, but at the moment is too like gokarts for me. But if your predictions come true, and they open up everything, I would really like FE to become as crazy as the innovative F1 years of 70s, 80s and early 90s - where just the speed and winning mattered, without the carbon and safety levels ruining the sport...
>too like gokarts for me. But even Formula 1 is essentially pimped-up shifter gokart.
Thanks to too restrictive regulations. I miss the times of four-front-wheelers, gas turbines and vacuum-undercarriage.
