It's not that different from af corse pro/pro-am/smp gte/gt3 programs.
Difference is that lnt/ginetta is basically a full pro-am team that simply can't run their cars without paying drivers.
Rebellion instead usually had a 1 full pro 1 pro-am.

My comparison was more really into the Lola AMR days where you had guys like Harold Primat funding LMP1 cars, and they were able to sell old cars to ALMS and other places.
Anyway in GTE, all of the manufacturers can promise their customers they're going to win at least couple of times per season due to bop making them win when it's their turn to be winners, but that cannot promise such in LMP1 (or LMP3 for that matter, strangely). Now, they have had the success penalty nonsense in the 19-20 season but that won't be applied for LM anyway, and next year the neutered P1s, if any enter, will surely be bopped negatively in comparison to LMH
