“For us, supporting talented youngsters is an investment in the future. In line with our LMP1 project we want to expand our driver line up. After all, aside from our works commitment in prototype racing, we don’t want to neglect our GT racing activities and we also want to support our customer teams with works drivers in the future,” says Hartmut Kristen, Head of Porsche Motorsport.

That's pretty decent news. Hopefully it provides an opportunity for some of the younger guys that would have faced difficulty gaining an otherwise locked down factory seat.
Considering they'll likely have three factory entries at LM, there's still a lot of recruiting to be done between the present - 2014.
I'm betting Ragginger's first to be bumped up to an official factory seat.
