That's note quite true. The majority of these privateer entries were all already in the works before everything hit the fan - I figure we got two more privateer P1s out of this than we would have had otherwise. Three at most. The ACO didn't go running back to them, they breathed a sigh of relief that programs were in the works.
The Ginetta was announced months before Porsche's withdrawal(January and July 2017 respectively), and Dallara had been rumored to be working on something around a month before he Porsche announcement.
All the ACO had to do was work out if any parity should be applied to the Toyotas.
