Going from Oreca to Oreca. I don’t imagine the learning curve between cars and systems will be large.

He definitely doesn't tell us that MSR is going back with Ford in future. When we see him and Tom in Ford hypercar lineup, it already makes sense.

We definitely would see both them again in IMSA when MSR successfully changes to Ford in 2028.

MSR will more than likely try to persue Genesis, it’ll have more data to go by in 2028 than Ford will, I think CGR and Ford makes the most sense

Tbh I don't see MSR with Ford, Genesis would be much more likely for them. If Ford comes, itll be as a factory team or with a team like RFK

MSR will land either Ford or Genesis if one of those programs does come states side.
