I remember this interview. They were talking about the possibility of the return of Penske Racing in Le Mans with its unbeatable Porsche RS Spyder. Roger said his interest was to win Le Mans overall, not only in LMP2 class. It would be a real event to see Penske Racing back in LM, expecially with a Porsche! If Joest and Audi will continue to race in LM notwithstanding Porsche return, Penske would be an ideal choice for german manufacturer to line up its new LMP1. Penske has shown to work very well with Porsche, the team has been really competitive in LMP2, facing and defeating Audi several times. I would be glad to see Porsche and Penske to win in Le Mans, the overall standing. It would be a giant battle between Penske/Porsche and Joest/Audi... but I think Audi will not of the match. I'm not sure VAG would risk Audi Sport's image in a fratricide fight against Porsche. For sure, it would be interesting!
