Penske was also the only guy smart enough to come out in favor of retrofitting the existing chassis with the new power plants as an interim step to defray the investment cost.
Of course that also would have lead to some real diversity on the grid. I read that somewhere. Two years ago.
What you won't read is that all the other owners...the ones who are whining about the cost of transition to all new gear...they all shot it down to the ICONIC committee.
Now the new cars they demanded will all be nearly identical in performance and appearance, and the only investment that won't be a total waste will be their inventory of dampers and wheels.
Brilliant.
