But given the unexpected Audi Sport pull out of the WEC at the end of last season, and if the news is indeed bad or strange, there are some possibilities (note, I'm definitely not an optimist when it comes to the goings on in racing):

Toyota or Porsche scaling back or pulling out of the WEC

LMP2 top speeds getting capped

Strange goings on in GTE-Pro BOP

LMP1 privateer prospects taking an unexpected hit for next season

Goings on with the 2018 WEC schedule

Or it could just be John embellishing something he heard to make it more click-baity, since SC365 is funded, like many websites, by the number of clicks it gets based on ads/sponsorship.
Chassis BoP in LMP2 as a result of the Oreca domination on test day is a very real possibility as well.
