Problem is that we do know, especially with the shorter stints this year, that Toyota can triple and probably quadruple stint tires with no trouble at all. Maybe we might see the privateers pull an Audi '11 and quintuple stint tires possibly with the shorter stints if they can get the tires to last without drop off.
As hinted at earlier in this thread with a link, there's been no significant EOT change for LMP1 for LM race week so far.
There's been a ton of movement in BOP for GTE-Pro, with only the Porsche 911s still in the same spec as at the test day.
