Truth is, Strakka gambled on the Dome in the hope it would give them a performance advantage over the Oreca & Ligier coupes. Had this proved to be the case, they were hoping to sell more Dome's on a commercial basis and maybe bid for the 2017 LMP2 supply contract. Clearly, this hasn't worked out for them.
The acquisition of the Gibson is a stop-gap until the P1 project is ready to go.It's possibly the best P2 car available "off the peg" so an obvious choice.
Now that Gibson have no future in P2 from 2017 onwards, I'd be very surprised if they're not heavily involved in the Strakka P1 project. It makes perfect sense for both companies.
