Leaves Porsche with one option
4 times racing in Le Mans from their re-entrance in 2014 until 2018. That is asking for 4 wins, too.=> Guess we will see one more Chopard watch, at least.
In todays world, it is fairly common to come and go. Less longterm commitments.
Formula E will be racing, too. But do they have 24h races? When will the endurance no longer be limited to aspect of battery power?
Yes, it will be racing. But not the same. Therefore, i am predicting a Porsche comeback as we have seen in the past. Maybe.
Not maybe but most certainly: best regards

That's an interesting development, even if not fully surprising...
As mentioned, there are many issues at the moment that need urgent attention. As for Chopard, this does not have to mean a change of partner. There will likely still be participation in various race series from GT to Formula E, so the potential remains......
Very interesting
