TMG is arguably bigger than Audi and Peugeot's motorsports efforts. They have the facilities and the resources. Now they will put that to the road. I always thought that in F1 they had a reasonable chance if they had some top drivers, but thats another story.
It's strange that McNish didn't have what it takes during his year at Toyota F1 (though it was early on in Toyota's F1 venture), yet he is a fantastic driver at Audi. There are other examples of this out there though, Dario dominating Indy and being terrible at NASCAR. Who knows.
