With what money? The majority of the funding for Action Express and others previously was their family project but that's been redirected to other ventures. And not sure money where their mouth is would be the right expression there any way. They aren't crying they need more money, they set a standard that it appears teams and partners are willing to go along with. If that's what makes the series go then great.
As for LMP2/3, they aren't OEM partnered cars so that's not applicable there. The LMDh and LMH cars ARE manufacturer partnered as part of the regs, thus OEM marketing contribution, as it's called, would be applicable.
