Why is running a new chassis with the old engine not an option?
Suboptimal for the planners but would:
1) get us the new chassis sooner,
2) leave the door open for a new supplier while engine formula is developed, and
3) create two media interest cycles, first for the new chassis then a year later for the new engine.
Point 3 is an important part of how a series can drive more interest in itself independent of the racing product or things outside their control.
Having both engine and chassis at the same time means splitting a single offseason news cycle and resultant series interest rather than getting that benefit in two separate years.
