With what looks like a very full GTE grid giving them more than 2 places in Pro will obviously mean someone else losses out. BMW are the new boys, Corvette, Ford, Ferrari and Aston will need slots so unless the overall grid expands(not likely) i think it is unlikely Porsche will treated with anything like the respect they had before they blew LMP1H apart.
The strength of an OEMs leverage at the LM24 is directly tied to the sponsorship dollars they put into the sport. If the are writing a $5m+ check, they will get their way.
