I'm not sure how easily they could put together an works team, after what happened with Highcroft (which was mostly out of HPD's hands) a lot of teams would be wary of tying up with Honda.

After the performance of the ARX-01e at Sebring this year I'm 100% sure we'll see the return of Honda to LMP1.
The ARX-01e may have missed it's window of opportunity, it was planned as an interim car to help development of the With coupe, it's the coupe I'd want if planning a three year WEC program.

If the coupe is on hold you'd have to look at options from Lola, ORECA etc.
