I think it would be more useful if a sponsor could go and spend a small amount and get a good return (a winning car there should be more visible than a tail end main game car), instead they can do just as well sponsoring some other cheaper support class which seems to be what the VESA promotion structure allows for.
Improved promotion, live TV coverage, no driver restrictions on Level One or previous champions, could do wonders, hopefully. The teams in there are obviously quality, so getting more young gun/seasoned enduro drivers in there, and getting the general field numbers back up perhaps by allowing the older cars back in & cutting costs should be a VESA priority hopefully.
Wouldn't it be good if each shared meeting, featured a Fujitsu race as the opener (not at 8am though!) followed by the main game event on the Saturday and Sunday, both telecast on live television with each having a podium presentation?
