Doesn't sound like Randy had much of a choice.... no one before him was even looking into replacing the 2003-model car before him anyway.

That's not entirely true. Lola originally came up with the concept of aero-kits as well as a universal tub, that could be used for IndyCar and Indy Lights, thus saving Indy Lights teams having to fork out for a new one, if they wanted to race in the IndyCar Series itself.
