I see this as a talent nurturing excercise, so those who don't do the BIG meetings, but are competent drivers, could be given the tools and access to the information, to bring them on further, bettering their skills and knowledge. Now, I can't see Mirage sponsoring loads of drivers, directly, as it would be an administrational nightmare, let alone a logistical one. But, through shop drives, a driver might be spotted and brought up.
To be honest, no matter what the motive, if they are willing to support drivers at a time where lots of companies are looking at reducing expenditure, good on them.
