A pitty you only respond to this remark; the remarks above the one you quoted were more interesting.

In my case, I rather make sure that more people gets awesome performance on the normal channel and let the kids grow by themselve.
I don't see any reason why a little group of people should decide who will get the good parts, this is unfair.

Let's give a chance to everybody and use a levelled play ground.
Okay, you're missing two vital points here:

1) This first season is only a testing season, which means that there are a lot of people left out now because of less contact with manufacturers or spotting this idea too late. This F1 league is supposed to become the top league for benchmarking, which means that if people want to compete, they'll have to convince the manufacturers that they deserve a spot on the team. To do so, we already have manufacturer sponsored events and hwbot. Integrate these three types of competition and you have a fair competing ~ one where everybody can compete in

2) Within the F1 competition, there maybe should be a certain level of fairness. Why? To exclude the fact that some people win because they have cherry-picked samples while others have to do with rotten retail samples. That's why so many people would like to see Intel involved in this: much like GOOC, they could provide each team with a set of chips (all with same batch) so that the skill of the overclocker is tested rather than the size of his wallet or the luck he has. No one asks for super samples, everyone asks for at least decent samples (again, like gooc). What purpose does an F1 event have if people are playing with average chips?

By the way, since when are we responsible for the deductions of uninformed people? If I see Ronaldo play with Nike, is he to be blamed if I buy Nike and think I'll be as good as him? Is Lewis Hamilton to blame when I buy a car and expect it to go as fast as F1 cars? No.

(PS: l'egalité, typical french, no? )
