So I'm thinking someone like Volvo or Hyundai......so a decent manufacturer that wants to transition to a brand profile like Audi, BMW and Mercedes have......20 years ago Audi were nothing special, now look at them.
Volvo would be sweet, also WTCC switches to TCR regs next year, Volvo does not have a TCR car, and TCR does not permit factory teams. Could very well be looking at an engine deal for LMP1 instead, similar to their engine deal a few years ago for V8 Supercars.
