Audi, Toyota, and Porsche could sell customer cars with essentially GTE/GT3 (or whatever the GT+ motors will be) motors to both carry the corporate flag and inflate the corporate coffers.

P2 Penske Porsche, anyone?

All that seems really sensible to me, which makes me think I got it wrong.
Whether or not that is what he had in mind, I like that idea of using P1 chassis for P2 but with stock or gt engines.
