The issue isn't whether or not they've done well in servicing their one-make series, it's that they have to manage the LMP3 IN ADDITION TO all of that. They've been doing the one-make thing for years - if they hadn't gotten that down to a science by now nobody would ever do business with them. But by adding the LMP3 -which is also a type of racecar they had little experience with- they've taken on EXTRA work beyond what they're set up for. That wouldn't be an issue for a big manufacturer, but Ginetta's (still) a small company. It will only be able to stretch itself so far before it breaks.

Fortunately, it does not seem that they've stretched too far here, but the early issues indicate to me that they pushed themselves VERY close to their limit.
