It seems to me this might be just a data sharing program, as to what I learned from the WEC community on reddit. McLaren used to use Toyota's wind tunnel which I think is in Cologne. McLaren might not be using that wind tunnel anymore and in return they take Rio as a reserve driver to still have some data shared between the two manufacturers.
McLaren just posted on insta about a new wind tunnel....
And the link also mentions what I said in my comment. I was lazy and did not read it. My bad
No, I think you're right on and that you guessed it perfectly!
