Why dictate which ratio must be used when performance wise there is only one choice? Sounds like another case of writing rules for the sake of writing rules.
The idea around that is to discourage the teams from building different engines for different circuits, as seemed to happen in the less ‘controlled’ era, to reduce costs.

Performance advantage or not, the car did not comply with the rules.
Should there not he a simple table in the rule book around this, for pre and post event discovery, with a points and/or cash fine.

Compromised should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
My main take away from this is not incompetence from above (we're already aware of this no?), but incompetence from DJR - we had the illegally positioned wing, "unique" low aero setup and now this.

Are DJR following the PRA doctrine?

Are the powers that be concerned killing off any chance of a DJR/Penske title chance damaging to the series as a whole? Will Newcastle crowds be effected if the title is already done by then?

Quite possibly, although how much will be hard to quantify, especially as the "official spectators numbers" are nowhere near reality anyway.
