A couple things... The cost issue is beaten back by the fact that the bill is for individual pieces or the system. Machine time is donated to Outback teams that choose to work with them. Also, it gives teams who don't posses the huge resources of larger, more powerful teams, a better chance at having a highly competitive drive system.
