I know you're bitter over Audi leaving, yet I'm just curious. Your F1 argument falls, as each of the teams are their own constructor, i.e., "automobile makes". The sporting code doesn't talk about "engines".

P1 privateers have the endurance trophy and are not eligible for the world championship. So your list becomes:
Audi, Toyota.
Audi, Toyota.
Audi, Toyota, Porsche.
Audi, Toyota, Porsche, (Nissan)
Audi, Toyota, Porsche.
Toyota, Porsche.
Furthermore, I believe your quoted 2.4.3.c doesn't apply, as the FIA World Endurance
Championship (for P1) is neither a Trophy, cup, challenge nor series. There's the Privateer
trophy, no
cup, no
challenge and the
series is a multi-class, not limited to P1. IMHO none of these apply to the P1 championship.
You guys should know I'm a WEC fan. I'm just actually curious how they got it through the world council. I'm asking this question as I hope someone in, or close to being in, the know can actually answer it.
