Because (as I've explained before) time and money spent maintaining a Formula F Kent in top shape can be spent on more profitable things.

 Really?

 The # 5 car, the Kent, finished 8th in the official results, 1st in Provisional Results
 Position changed per: Car 5 - Moved behind #81 per SOM - GCR 6.11.1.D,
Appendix P.5. Must have cheated to get moved down that far.
 And the 5 car was the only Kent in the race.

What's extra hilarious is that they literally listed the rule infraction involved...
...but you just went with, "must have cheated".
