Porsche were in P2 well before Acura arrived on the scene, they're also heading to P1 long term, and using (modified) off the shelf chassis.
Porsche are spending a P1 budget on a full works P2 effort, in the process screwing up (IMO), the whole ALMS class structure.
Until Porsche have a car that can compete for overall wins at Le Mans they aren't a factor for the ACO, and their need to put on a credible 24hr race each year, which invariably means manufactuers vs manufactuers.
