Just my opinion, but there is not a single sport that I can think of where, at some level, money does not eventually trump skill.

Even in something as basic as the 100 meter dash, all "natural skills" being equal, the athlete with the best trainers, best equipment, best training methods will most likely win.

In a sport that relies on mechanics and technology to even exist there is no real way to take money out of the equation.

Probably the closest you could get is the old IROC series where the cars are owned and maintained by someone other than the drivers with the intent of making them equal. Even with that, you are back to the 100 meter scenario where the person with the money to properly train will win.
