Had they won LM in 2014 or 2016 or whenever already, it's just as likely they might've bailed out, especially after the exit of VW. Maybe topping Mazda on 2 LM wins might've been another goalpoint, but who knows.

And as for "completely unfounded", even Grahan Goodwin (so not Dagys) mentioned the Spa/LM/Fuji thing on RLM last fall. Furthermore if there wasn't danger at all, the ACO would not have had to clarify the "must do full season" thingy.
