Given massive amounts of resources from GT500 manufacturers, I don't think there will be competitive privateer team in GT500.
Suppose that a team like Tsuchiya Engineering wants to step up to GT500, they have to join as Lexus GT500 squad, assuming they still keeping ties with Toyota brand.
Their ability to keep single set of tyres in 2 stints is the testimony of how the team crafts the strategy in the race & knowing their car's potential.
