I would disagree with this.
When has DTM had multiple manufacturers entering? - never.
Is TCR legitimate? - yes, and there are no manufacturer entries.
Is BTCC legitimate? - yes, and there is less reliance on manufacturers than DTM.

BTCC survived when no manufacturers were entering, which shows the strength in having the right focus on entrants not manufacturers.
