Uh, yeah, like, what do we need to make our top production based, high tech racing more competitive? Hmmm...... I know, we could immitate NASCAR and go with restrictor plate! Yeah! The whole world knows how wnderful and fascinating NASCAR is, so we could be just like them!
The only really sad thing is how a great rider like Neil Hodgson is going to win a cheapened championship. He never really got a square deal. First on an old bike, now with no competition.
Anyway, the answer is obvious: remove all engine restrictions except the requirement to have stock cases, heads (porting ans such allowed) and maybe crank. Let's see what the mfg's come up with. Maybe a 1200cc twin vs a 1000cc four vs a 600cc turbo four. The only way for WSB to survive the GP threat is to allow mfg innovation and remove these semi-random rules.
