100% it's a common template.

Having the manufacturers involved sparked an enormous level of creativity and the development of some truly special cars. Today with the common template and the ABSOLUTELY NO ****ING with the grey areas of the rule book - that creativity is gone.

....and so is a large portion of the fan base.
