Not really the same thou, Audi Designed and Engineered (Although the basic chassis is/was built by Dallara it was all designed in Ingolstat) the car then got Joest just to run the team(with help from Audi engineers), Just like in DTM the cars are Designed in Inglostat and ran by Joest and helped along by Audi Engineers. All 3rd party stuff, Out sourcing, minimizing people on the books, easier to pull out if things go south, its done alot these days in buisness. Pescarolo is now looking at Peugeot to run there 908 and stuff, And as has been said Sora might not/cant find a budget to run the Pescarolo Prototypes next year so the whole theory of Porsche going to Pescarolo is nothing more than Pie in the Sky thinking, As I said IF Porsche are going to make a return bet your bottoms dollar it will be designed in house at Wiessach, Without the help of Pescarolo sport. Running the car Im sure Porsche would come to some agreement with people they have used more recently to push there factory efforts (Penske or Joest, especially IF Audi decide to pull out and focus on Indy/Mclaren as some rumours have circulated, Infact I Bet IF that were to happen Joest would be Running the Porsche outfit with how close its got to VAG recently).
