Fair call on the Due Dilligence, but its a case of who approached who? If a super model ask you out, would you say no? Someone says I'll give you sponsorship, you go "Thank God" - then start to panic when the money isn't in the bank account as promised and you've painted the cars, transporter, team merchandise etc etc.
I've heard of cases where the car/transporter has been painted in the sponsors colours in a bid to woo them to sign the deal
