Clearly it's a long time ago, and I utterly agree that they'd massively benefit from being there, but is there a niggle in Viry Chatillon that Le Mans didn't give them what they wanted? I'm not so sure.

Yes but Renault are intrinsically linked with them having a factory in Le Mans and being French that it seems natural they should be there - perhaps with a new Alpine on the way a GT version may be a real possibility. Sadly it seems the German manufacturers are the only European ones that are doing well at the moment so there is unlikely to be a budget from any others - except Ferrari - who could probably find enough sponsorship to fund the whole thing
Others to consider:
Chrysler
Cadillac
