duno if ur british or what but the same thing happened to the british touring car championship about 6 years ago. The major works teams withdrew, and the series has never recovered since. The difference in this situation is that I believe some or all of these manufacturers are planning to re-enter in a couple of years

"When Jacques was with us, he was a very aggressive driver, fiercely competitive, mentally hard as nails. Very quick with it, very gifted. A bright fellow, undoubtedly, very intelligent. He was an absolutely born racing driver - look at the way he'd bang wheels with Michael, pass people on the outside, that kind of thing" -Sir Frank Williams on Jacques Villeneuve
"This year, with BMW, JV's going very well, and I'm pleased for him. Whether or not he'll get a drive next year I don't know, but I hope he does, he's an unusual, and very strong addition to the F1 community. A character." - Sir Frank Williams again on Jacques Villeneuve

:lol:

I'm abit sad to see the WRC heading down this path as I'm a fan. Thankfully Ford and Subaru will remain whilst there will be privateer outfits for Citroen and Peugeot, with the former returning in 2007 as a works team. I hope Hyundai returns and that Suzuki makes the step up to the WRC from it's 1600 class series.
