but lmp1 IS still now the class of manufacters! in the last 10 years only work teams have won the 24h of le mans and almost all the other intersting events, and when the manufacters have taken part to some champ (ALMS, LMS) then they won flawless also there!
if those rumors will be true, it will happens as happens now: the team works will be however faster and more competitive than the private lmp1 teams.
Beyond competitivity between manufacters/private, i just hope that at least 3 manufacters will fight each other in lmp1, just to avoid what happened during the beginning of '2000 where after the toyota, mercedes, bmw, nissan and porsche retirment, there was a sort of "medieval age" where audi with the r8 that was undefeatable against other little teams who were using old or poorly updated courage or dallara cars.
