4) Pescarolo has worked with P2 Porsche drivers, Collard and Dumas
5) Pescarolo has the better petrol P1 car, with a wonder chassis, capable to win against works Aston Martin, too
6) Huge advertising for both
I suggest is enough to cooperate with a good success in P1.

1. If Porsche was in P1, Audi would not be, rumoured to join McLaren in F1.
2. Pescarolo is more competitive? I'm not sure what that means, but you can't possibly be suggesting that Pescarolo is a better team. You surely underestimate Penske, if you think they wouldn't demolish Pescarolo in the same car, in any track or event anywhere.
3. As do Porsche and Penske
4. As has Penske
5. Old rules cars experience is irrelevant. How many times has Pescarolo beaten Audi? He couldn't even when they had a better car. But Penske managed to do it with a P2 car. 2011 will basically be P2 cars, how much experience does Pescarolo have running those vs. Penske? How much recent experience has Pescarolo running a Porsche with the 3.4V8?
