Many of those teams still need to find the funding to run the car, factory is just providing the drivers. Driver costs are not the big restriction to running the program

This on the other hand is fundamentally stupid
"Manufacturer sources have suggested to RACER that there has been discussion around a potential restriction to teams in the new GT class for makes not already represented in the WEC in the new Hypercar class. This would mean a brand like Aston Martin would be unable to field customer cars or a factory GT entry, without a top class program."
