the 4 lmp2 manufacturers have been assigned in 2015 if I recall correctly, since none else recently approached ACO, guess ACO just renewed them without thinking twice. At the moment lmp2 is an oreca monopoly, lmp3 is an onroak monopoly and it's quite impossible to expect some changes for next lmp2 gen, also because dallara doesn't probably care at all since they are more involved on producing and supply >200 cars a year between indy, F2, F3, FE, superformula, spare chassis and parts for haas cars demolished by mick schumacher etc. Multimatic is tied with porsche and they got too big to pay attention on private teams racing programs.
