True, car manufacturers have to spend money on promotion (which motorsport is brilliant for) and they have to develop the technology to meet emissions regulations (at least here in Europe anyway, don't know whats going on in the US in that regard).
ACO sportscar racing has enough technical freedom to justify them putting their R&D money into the sport and be able to get a marketing and technological return on it.
