That brings up a point I'd like to address. Why is it that a series that has a main sponsor of Pirelli, pretty much has Continental signs all over the place right in the camera's view. The CTCC was running that weekend but Continental is only a presenting sponsor as opposed to the title sponsor the that event at Mosport. Wouldn't you want to cover up those Continental signs if you were Pirelli? A German company vs a Chinese one. Maybe the Chinese need to step up to the plate to get more coverage.

Then some of those drivers in the Sprint Cup races were sporting Continental and IMSA patches on their driver suits. Hopefully PWC fined those guys for having competing sponsors at the event. In reality, that should have been taken care of in tech a few days before the race.
