How would the company make its money back though? All R&D and promotions are made up in the company's margin. And I'm sure the margin on these parts is astronomical, for good reason though

What I'm saying is this: If you make a one-of kit in sponsorship of a competition car and then decide to sell it to the general population in low quantities- the full costs of the project shouldn't be placed on the public buyers. Part of that sponsorship should include eating some of the sunk costs that go into R&D. Otherwise it's more like the public who actually are paying the inflated cost of this kit end up being the real sponsors. Think about it-
