We have 3/4 racers here in France, very little to no sponsor at all, it would be I think an advantage to have some top racers in every European leagues with some kind of sponsoring, it does not have to be full, but some help for parts etc...can be fairly easily done, giving them new parts to try etc..to get feed back and create buzz, in UK, AE is well supported and represented, probably due to their importer, but it is true that for the rest of Europe, it is very often a one man show.
We have 3 TC6 now in our club
