You've got so many more manufacturers looking at it this year, if your minimum threshold is 18 cars or so, you're getting down to only needing three or four cars from each manufacturer to make a grid. If it was five, if a couple did three and a couple did four, you're there. For each manufacturer that’s significantly different than when it was 6x3. Spreading the burden.

That sounds great. But if there's 5 or more manufacturers, some won't be fighting for the championship. Sooner or later, a few will leave the championship.
The Argentine TC2000 has 6 manufacturers now, totalling 19 cars (a few are pay drivers). It's a thin balance.
