A low budget Wipeout game did not kill Liverpool Studio. Sony killed them because of their financial situation and wanting to consolidate their first party development studios. Liverpool and Evolution were doing pretty much the same job and both rather expensive studios to run. Sadly outside Forza and Gran Turismo, there just isn't that much money in racing games which both studios specialised in and dev costs for them were only increasing while the audience was shrinking.
It's the same reason CodeMasters are struggling so much right now.
