Remember than only full season entrants can score manufacturers points but any WEC entry, even as a one off can score drivers points i.e. if Toyota turned up with a third car for Fuji, it could score drivers but not manufacturers points. Perfect example of this was that slick tactical move that Audi pulled yesterday with what was a obvious team order when the #3 pitted after the #2 for no reason other than to let #2 take the lead, it made so strategic sense other than for the afore mentioned purposes.
The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is how Audi are freely allowed to change what car #1 and #2 are, one of which becomes a hybrid for the rest of the WEC.
