The SPF arrangement demonstrates that Shelby is not out to "crush" replica manufacturers or drive them out of business. It suggests that he wants to be paid a royalty for what he thinks is his. The SPF settlement also sets a post-FFR lawsuit precedent that could play a factor in the settlement of the present lawsuit.

Business is a bit different than global politics. An argument can be made that FFR's money would be better spent on an alliance with Shelby for the Daytona than wasting it on a lawsuit. Clearly most FFR owners see that as a deal with the devil. CS has clearly set a precedent that he has a boner for certain replica makers with a penchant for suing. You can go hide in the corner and hope he doesn't find you, or wait for him to show up. At least Chavez is content staying home. For now.
