Right, his remark concerned 2016 when new regs are promulgated.
Though likely USCC will go with either P1 (if there are privateer P1s) or P2s in 2016. Why ask manufacturers to design and build an entirely new class of cars only useful for a single series? FIA is likely to change p2 minimally if at all, and USCC could let old P2s, new P2s and old DPs race head-to-head with minor balancing--- That way every team gets to run what it wants to run, doesn't have to buy new machinery if it doesn't want to, and most important, the market for cars would improve---teams getting new P2s could sell old P2s, teams swapping DPs for P2scould possibly sell the DPs, and people buying P2s would know they had a resell value in a couple years because they ran in every series on the planet. Why draw up a set of brand-new single-series chassis and motor regs and then hope someone will build cars, when already fine-tuned regs will exist? Just grandfather DPs and older P2s and let 'em run. Addendum---use the idea mentioned above about two classes in the same machinery (the way Rolex does it now) instead of a whole different class of cars for beginners, and also, if they would open up the rules just a little on P2 to allow a little owner modification, it would be every bit as good as P1, just not quite so cutting edge (and cripplingly expensive) but teams could build a little identity into the cars, trying different bodywork and engine tunings if they wanted.
