I think if you study history of Porsche brand they always had very different nationalities competing for them even in succesful years 80-90.
And not focus on German drivers.
So probably not surprise?
I mean just look at drivers winning with Porsche cars not only at Le Mans but in World Sportscar racers
Ickx, Wollek, Bell, Holbert, Schuppan all raced for works team.
And then strong private teams had Pescarolo, Barilla, Ghinzani, Boutsen, Larrauri, Sigala, Pareja, Baldi, Lammers, Dumfries and I sure forget many good drivers!!!
