Yeah - Marlboro's gone to Peugeot.

ok.

It's amazing that a company that isn't allowed to advertise on TV, (at least here in the US) get's soo much advertising air time in a race event. I heard an interesting stat that if one of the Marlboro sponsored cars is in or near the lead, it will receive an estimated total of 45 minutes of continious TV air time.

Nice way to get your advertising across!

They've banned ciggie ad's on cars over here.

The British F1 just has the cars without the wording but does have the usual colour scheme.

There are actually a few countries where cars can only display colour schemes and not the sponsor's name or wording.

The most interesting thing about Marlboro going to Peugeot is that Richard Burns is personally sponsored by Nicorette...

How bizarre.

It'd be like one of the Martini drivers being sponsored by AA.
