They will win LMP3 for sure.

I think they can win 'em all, if they get the right drivers and if FiA doesn't allow diesels in P2.

Well, LMP3 is one engine anyways, so they won already, LMP2 should be theirs too as they have the only works engine program (even though Audi might join the party). I don't see them winning LMP1 though.

Well, if it wasn't for bad luck, Toyota would've won Le Mans this year, and are almost WEC champions. Nissan historically learns a little bit faster than Toyota, and they already come with something, they describe as "different", I wouldn't count them out.

Nissan is spread all over the place though: Indianapolis, England, Japan, and according to rumors an AER sourced V6. Toyota meanwhile does the TMG chassis + Toyota Japan power train thing. Also, TMG is one of the top facilities in motorsports worldwide. And about that something different attitude: that's the danger for non-competitiveness. I'm sure the 3 current teams built conventional cars because it's the best combination of reliability, speed and efficiency - how would Nissan find that one huge advantage no one else can see?
It's gonna be interesting, but I don't see Nissan being competitive whatsoever. Not for three years.
