that's exactly what happened in France in 1973 upon the first oil shock,
speed limit was introduced everywhere in the country & car racing was banned.
as a consequence most of the small french race car building companies collapsed,
even majors such as Citroen struggled to survive because they've just released very fast models like the SM-Maserati coupé (ca. 250 km/h at the time...)
