What they both have in common is they prioritise F1, unlike VAG, Peugeot etc., they've shown little inclination to put together a major factory program to win Le Mans.
Mclaren's '95 win was a result of the sport being on it's backside, it was a huge bonus for a customer program.

what I ment as if Ferrari and McLaren were to aproach ACO about a future LMP1 programe, I am preaty sure their imput would be weighed heavily, for the simple reason that they bring cash and popularitiy to the sport, same as porsche does.
