If the rumours are to be believed, we already had interested parties from a lot of teams who were prepared to run even if Porsche and Toyota were both their. So if they were prepared to finish behind 4-5 factory cars, they should be able to take the hit of 2-3. If Toyota only turns up for Le Mans, there's still a good chance of an overall podium at Le Mans for private cars.
