I assume any hybrid research comes out of the R&D budget, and the company expects direct RoI, as opposed to the diffuse and unquantifiable RoI of "publicity" from racing.

Much better (As with the ZedWingOdd) to hire the folks who know how to do it and pay for the materials.
Just out of curiosity what do you consider a lot of money, and how much do you think they have spent to develop and test the zeod? I have no idea but I bet it is comparable or more than what Rebellion have spent.
