True, in terms of P1, however I think in such a high-costing class such as LMP1 it is good to have a stable flow of manufacturers rather than a bulk of factory teams like in 1999.
When there are too many factory teams involved in a series, there can only be one winner a season, so manufacturers lose interest and question why they spend so much money to be the 4th or 5th factory team. Examples of this mass manufacturer fallout are Le Mans 2000, BTCC 2000, F1 2009/2010.
IMO the perfect manufacturer number in P1 at least is 3.
