I don't think its that big a deal, the naming rights of the corner is for the purposes of the race, the actual name of the corner will still be "Brock's Skyline"
Its like Griffins Bend, over the years it has been branded XL Bend, GTX Bend, Repco Bend etc.. but the actual name is still Griffins
Conrod Straight was branded "Subaru Straight" for a few years in the 90s, Forrest Elbow was "Tyrepower Turn", Hell Corner has been "Shell Helix Corner"
etc etc
