Flashback to the former JGTC 1999 season. Not only were the Toyota and Nissan heavily involved in JGTC, but they also were able to focus on running sportscars, not domestically, but OVERSEAS. Nissan was running a championship-winning campaign with the Nismo GT-Rs, all in the meanwhile within the last 3 years they managed to complete projects on not 1, but 2 entirely different prototype programs for Le Mans (Nissan R390 and R391, and let's not forget the Courage that ran with the R391's, as well.).
This and Toyota, too was also running both a JGTC (Supra) and Le Mans (GT-One TS020) program.
Now they might not have run an entire season of any sportscar series at the time, but I don't think that the JLMC would really ask for too much time out of them.
