"In a surprise announcement, Porsche AG has announced that it is purchase Jaguar F1 Racing for an undisclosed sum.

'Although our one-make racing series has proven extremely popular, Porsche AG acknowledges that in order to continue to be at the forefront of motorsport it is necessary for us to compete at the highest level. We aim to repeat the success we enjoyed with McLaren in the 1980's as a technical partner, but as a full factory entrant' comments an official press release.

'Although Porsche is best known for its Le Mans success, we feel that the current level of competition would not give us the challenge we are seeking'

No announcement has yet been made regarding drivers".

1. please post a link to that article - I checked about 20 F1 sites - not mentioned on any of them.

2. If true, they better start working ASAP with BMW to push the FIA to keep V-10's.




EDIT -

Since the day Ford announced the death of Team jaguar, Red Bull put in a bid, that rumor is alive and well on almost every F1 site:

I hope this has some weight to it. Porsche needs to return to racing. From what I hear they have alot of technology that they have thats been sitting, like motors with no camshafts and such things, just sitting on shelves. Then I would actually follow F1 alot more closely
