Another article I found on the future of LMP1 and how the factory team exodus might be a good thing:

Only quibble I have with the article is that the author leaves out that Gibson Technology is still a player in hybrid tech if someone wants to team with them. Gibson (as Zytek) designed the hybrid system used in the Panoz Esperante Q9 GT1 car and also helped Toyota with their early hybrid systems on the first generation Prius. They also helped with technology on the Honda CR-Z GT300 hybrid car.
