Porsche’s out. 2017's gonna be their last season. To be updated.
UPDATE: yup, they’re headed to Formula One and Formula Eh. The latter I can see why, the former...will need a deeper explanation.

It’s good thing that I managed to attend this year’s Le Mans 24h. Next year could be a bit weird if Toyota doesn’t have any proper challengers.
Engines for McLaren? That would be interesting turn. They shouldn’t be worse than Honda even during their first season.

To be fair, they didn’t foresee Dieselgate, which just nuked internal combustion, but the ACO rested on its laurels in ‘15-’16 and lazed out on bringing down costs.

There are still rumors that Peugeot might be joining soon. Plus big budget spenders are gone with Audi and Porsche, so I suppose it would help that. I really hope they join, because otherwise LMP1-H is in the shit.

It is Peugeot though. Fingers will be firmly sealed in place until accountants say so.

I want to see them enter under the Opel brand. And create a new Speedster as a tie-in.
