If Rocketsports doesn't answer the bell (or one of the other one-car operations) then you have 15 on the grid.

Petit's inability/unwillingness to field a team could have a negative impact on the grid this season.

I look at it another way... if Mr Pettit's input into the team is ~$2m a year on top of the existing sponsorship.... and he drives both the funds and chassis to Mr Coyne.... then the car can likely run as is, as a 3rd vehicle, looking for both sponsorship and a driver, for this budget.

If any commercial sponsorship appears, it reduces the $2m required and/or provides an input for the other 2 DCR chassis.

You can add 1+2 and get a little more that 3 if the cards fall right.
