Porsche makes a lot of money. Just recently it was discussed if Porsche would be the lead company, and not VW. They've had the money to go LMP1 for a while. I think Audi being there was sort of a give away. Why run against someone in the same auto group? Let them have their 'limelight' then we'll come back and it'll be a two for one with both of our cars. Diesel has been brought to life- awesome for VW group. Now it's time for Hybrid to be brought to life with Porsche- awesome again! As much as it's pride, it's about auto sales and image as well.
