Not so good an analogy, IMO. FIA requires teams only have 2 drivers per team to compete. Each team must produce their own chassis (ground up design), and must pass scrutineering. Each team must prove to FIA they will be viable and meet other criteria. There are only so many teams that meet FIA requirements for competition. Otherwise, there are a ton of drivers that would rather race out their careers in F1. Comparing to NASCAR where any Joe can buy a chassis, engine and jamb a certified driver into the car to compete, is a bad comparison.
Local tracks need to police their own. This has nothing to do with ROAR. ROAR allows local tracks to set thier own rules, look up level one races in the rule book.
