You guys seem to be forgetting TF110's comments that TMG's budget for the WEC is 1/4 of what it was in F1. If we consider that they spent damn near $400 million a year at times, their current budget is nearly $100 million. That's about $15 million more than Audi in 2013, and easily twice what Toyota had spent prior to 2014.
Also when you consider that Porsche totally redesigned their car only one season into the WEC and played all kinds of aero trickery from the beginning, their budget had to be at least as big as what Audi were working with. Not to mention that both are owned by VAG, one of the biggest spenders in motorsport, period.
