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).
It is obvious the difference between Pescarolo and Joest. Joest is just a team, while Pescarolo is a manufacturer.
But if we consider Porsche may decide to supply only engine, Pescarolo may be the right choice with its chassis, I've explained why in the prievious post. Porsche may be forced to re-think its involvement in a future P1 program. However they may try to find a partner for a less expensive program. Pescarolo may be the answer.
