Could Porsche really walk away from the WEC? 

Their recent win at COTA hasn’t silenced rumors of an exit, but is it really about money (as it always seems to be when a team leaves a series), or something deeper? 

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we dig into: 

• Why Porsche’s public comments don’t match the on-track picture
• Motorsport’s hidden layers: racing, the “sport behind the sport,” and politics
• The real role of racing as a marketing platform, not just a passion project
• How rivals like Ferrari and McLaren are finding creative ways to fund their programs

Porsche says times are tough, but are they really preparing to leave, or just playing for leverage?
