So what does it cost to run a credible Le Mans program (ideally ALMS + Le Mans)?
Less than the difference between $420m and $252m that's for sure!! But if Toyota is interested in saving money in their racing program in F1 would they really be interested in starting a new LMP program? I sure hope so.
