If they can't put together funds for a DPi program, LMP2 is the logical place, though - they have the cars and can turn them back to LMP2 Ligiers easily enough, and there will be no worries about the manufacturer fee.

ESM lost tequila patron sponsorship, it's just about a lack of budget issue.
Highcroft racing lost same sponsor at the end of 2010 and their sportscars programs basically ended (they ran 2011 sebring and 2012 LM with delta wing just because backed by michelin and nissan).
Beyond that, don't think ESM is interested to run a pro-am program in lmp2 anyway.
Such a suicide move the P class split, considering that an oreca lmp2 was 3 points away from being champion.
If HPD will open for customers, DPi class will turn in some kind of closed wheel indy
