There are groups fighting to maintain motorsports and since they are such a big tradition all around the world they do have some clout.

I’m just saying that almost all motorsport use illegal parts under this law, so the sport won’t exist as it is or close to how it is. The only top motorsport that could survive with little difference is maybe motorcycle racing like MotoGP or WSBK; they wouldn’t exist in the same way, but OEM motorbikes are so fast that it may not make a huge difference to the spectators what they are seeing in lap times and top speeds.
For other motorsports, even if they allow the vehicles to race, they would need to design everything in house because they won’t find a manufacturer who produces aftermarket fuel cells, fuel surge tanks, larger injectors, fuel rails, forced induction, fuel pressure regulators. They will need to use 16 OEM injectors for their 4 cylinder and six turbos from an 18 wheeler all retrofitted with in-house CNC products run off an in-house, proprietary engine management system.
