The privateers are still part of the FIA World Endurance Drivers' Championship. Actually so are the LMP2 drivers, which could be a bit of a cheap trick. But I couldn't tell you the mechanism for the validity of the Manufacturers' Championship.

Incidentally it turns out LMP2 could actually ostensibly form a World Championship, since there is 4 different cars. But I still don't think they'd consider it world level.
