Yves Courage believes ORECA can bring much to his organisation, and maybe help produce a car out of the box that's a match for factory cars.
There's a similarity with ORECA'S re-engineering of the Saleen S7R.

I firmly believe that the Oreca-Courage will be strong contender in the Petrol 'class'. They know how to do things correctly and they have the resources to make it happen. Given their reputation for making reliable cars, they are also very likely to attract good drivers with some budget.
Courage's poor reliability in the past reduced interest from drivers with budgets as they often were not able to get in the car for the race.
