I think no one should be suprised by Voltron having a prominent sponsor. Europa has done sponsoring deals for major attractions for way over a decade now (maybe even 2), given the inflation it makes lots of sense that they'd continue with Voltron.
However, I think there are different ways of sponsoring. One that ties in with the attraction and just appears to be a brand existing within that attraction. The other one is an invasive one, adding little to nothing to the theme and maybe even butchering the name.
With Europa being a theme park (and one of the better themed at that), the latter option just doesn't feel right for me. Cars have little to no tie in with the story-line of the attraction, and Rimac has nothing to do with the kind of car which would be reasonable for that time frame. I might be wrong, and we see some fictional vintage cars with Rimac branding, but it doesn't look like that at this point in time.
They already did a better job on some attractions, e.g. Silver Star, Voletarium and especially the Capri Sun at Arthur - which was, funnily enough, a huge discussion point for german fans because they felt it was too invasive. I will never understand what they didn't like about a Capri Sun being thrown away amongst all the other trash being shown. In my opinion, they could've slapped the whole scene with brands and it would have fit the narrative.
