... and that all test sessions that were planned this month, are cancelled.
BTW you are probably talking about the original plan when they were given the green light in October 2011. However, according to Gary Watkins (Autosport of February 2, 2012) the two cars at Le Mans were planned before Peugeot's withdrawal.

Bigger programme
Toyota expanded its Le Mans attack from one to two cars, before Peugeot announced its withdrawal earlier this month. The suggestion that it could run all the races after the 24 Hours, rather than the selected events originally planned, isn't dismissed by Vasselon.
"Going to two [cars] was partly down to the enthusiasm the programme generated," says Vasselon who denies Toyota is under pressure to do more races from the ACO.
