I feel like this time around we are seeing more collaboration between manufacturers and private teams. For example;
Prema/Iron Lynx -> Lamborghini
WRT -> BMW
JOTA, Proton, Penske -> Porsche
Joest -> Glickenhaus
Vectorsport -> Isotta
Oreca -> Puegot
etc. etc.
It seems that outside of Toyota really, that private teams are basically running the operations of the manufacturers in partnership moreso than a wholly and complete factory effort. With LMP2 disappearing from the WEC grid, any fall out will likely be with the GT3 cars/teams which we can already see happening.
