I'm not sure that the comparisons with 98-00 are entirely accurate. That period saw a big manufacturer rush to Le Mans in a very short time, which probably contributed to the bubble bursting. At the moment we have a relatively stable set of factory entries that has increased over a longer period. I don't see as much of an issue with BMW coming to LMP1 because it will take them time to get the program started, which gives time for the ACO to accommodate the extra cars.
