Don't get me wrong, they still might be after a title sponsor but just because they don't have one doesn't mean the WEC is unattractive to sponsors.
I think we had this discussion not so long ago? My point is still same: use your own money vs. use someone else's money. Also I just can't believe putting "Audi Ultra Lightweight" sticker on the fin is just that valuable, that they'd turn down a big enough sponsorship offers just because of that.

Bentley example: no WEC back then and probably relatively cheap program compared to current ones.

Must be above the WRC in the pecking order!
Not sure so sure in terms of title sponsoring: Middle-East sponsors Citroen and M-Sport/Ford, and VW obviously snatched Red Bull from Citroen.
