To answer the original question generally yes for the following reasons.
The fastest Le Mans races seem to always have at least 2 cars slugging it out for most if not all the race, the last few races and the late 80's late 60's early 70's spring to mind. in all these cases there were a number of cars or manufacturers fighting for victory.
Races where one car or team were able to pace themselve to a following car that was many laps behind do not create the same excitement, you are there waiting for a mishap to liven things up a bit.
