Henri probably is getting to that stage in his career like Roger Penske where he's just got too many eggs to nurture them all himself. Outsourcing some of the production allows him to focus more of his efforts where he sees fit, possibly more of the business end and crew cheif side of things- i think he's still got a sour taste in his mouth from that pit lane crash last year at LM and wants some redemption, he's by no means done!

Perhaps he wants to lunch a full on assault on LeMans with Peugeots or another production manufacturer. He must have been paid a pretty good mint for that deal. Wonder if Oak racing is going to P1 then. Then again with Oak racing's Mazda affiliation, is this Mazda trying to reach into the P1 class? Is Henri retiring?
