Don't think you'll find many complaints about Viper turning up. Apart from the BoP crowd maybe who won't be at the race.
As for Status they aren't on the reserve list anymore they are in the race. The crash was a blow but I think they will be quick and I don't see much reason why a relatively proven package couldn't last 24 hours. It's not the same as the Toyota development in that sense.
The biggest blow is in terms of seat-time and LMP familiarisation for the drivers.
