There's a slight benefit now for the nonhybrids with the larger fuel flow restrictors, but all around Toyota will probably still manage to do faster individual stops just because they are Toyota. Anyway more importantly both can now do 11 lap stints (or theoretically more) in the race, without the fear of being penalized and that's the most important thing
But usually Rebellion manages to crumble away at some point, the last time they had perfect race at Le Mans was years and years ago. That's alright though, privateer teams, even rich ones shouldn't be expected to beat factory cars unless something outside the box happens. It is most likely the final ever race for the team ever so I'm sure they're anxious as hell
