The other manufacturers haven't shown up in ages - they have no grounds for complaint, if they had been in the prototype ranks then the ACO would have asked them.

Privateers have come CLOSE recently, but don't you think Audi kind of wanted them to? - a steamroller would not have got publicity (plus why spend £50m to win by a lap when you can spend £5m and win by a minute?)

On the other hand, now they have another factory to fight against the gloves will come off & the Pescarolo/Zytek/Creation will get left behind.
