I asked the RLM lot and they didn't give an answer but they referred to Martin Short aka Rollcentre racing and they said that he has been able to buy LMPs more easily than GT1s because of the standard of the potential rivals, ie Corvettes and Aston Martins.
He was able to buy old ORECA Dallaras since then he has owned Radicals and now running a Pescarolo for this weekend's race. Apparently he did buy them through the business/team but he is in no means rich, he is a successful business owner.
