I think he would say yes!
Porsche are currently considered the largest manufacturer in the world of turn-key racing cars.
This year they will produce over 350 997 GT3 Cup cars, 35 RSR's and are running (or help run) 7 RS Spyders in two series (ALMS and LMS)
Porsche motorsports has relatively recently inaugurated a huge (10,000 square meter) new building in Weissach Flats thus creating a crucial prerequisite in ensuring the continued competitiveness of its vehicles in racing.
The facilities include workshops, race vehicle production, logistics center and a terminal for trucks. A three-story office block for the administration and development departments as well as a car-park complete the new motorsport complex, in which a staff of 210 work. (from Porsche press release)
Any company that has invested in this way, will say "yes" were back in racing.
Now, this doesn't mean that I agree with some of their calls.
