Will Sportscar Racing Benefit from the high cost of F1?

I'm curious what all of you think about this concept. It is no secret that the cost of Formula 1 is incredibly high. A number of people including myself wonder how long this rate of spending can continue. It is mind boggeling to me that the return on investment is worth it to the manufacturers involved (i.e. BMW, Mercedes, Toyota, etc). I suppose it is, or they wouldn't do it. This is undoubtedly linked to TV exposure.

My primary question is this: at some point will the manufacturers walk away from F1 and will sportscar racing as a whole benefit from this?
