Why would it be a slap in the face of 888?
It's RML who developed the Chevrolet so if Chevrolet UK let 888 run the cars it would be a slap in the face of RML.
It would be GM saying to T8 "right, we can't afford to run you as a factory team, but we can afford to get RML to run Daewoos". That is less the case as Vauxhall/Opel is now GM/Magna/some Russian bank.
