I thought he was still a factory driver, just on loan to drive non factory cars.

Whew. Yeah, totally.
Not all of the factory Porsche drivers drive the factory Porsche entry--only recently did Porsche reinstate a factory team. Their factory drivers are assigned to teams campaigning Porsches. It's like borrowing a library book, kinda.

$2017 Challenge Porsche? Hmmm, I might have to make a call....
I am very interested in joining this tour. Can anyone lend me a GT3 RS for a few days?

I'm scheduled to be out of town the 21st, but holy moly wouldni try to rearrange it for this! I might even wash the old 911 for this one...
