Very good news for the category. It seems there's a been a shift of ideology from Virgin Air about sponsoring motorsport from a few years ago...

Interesting news and something of a coup for V8SC.
But why Dubai? Surely Abudhabi the home port of Virgin Codeshare (and major shareholder) would have been better.
Still sponsorship is probably aimed at domestic market anyway.
Now all virgin has to do is put chocks in the seat recline for flights under 90 minutes.

You say a lot of clever stuff on here Tony, but that is a high water mark!

Grant Hackett might agree too.

Hopefully Virgin are paying for the sponsorship in $$$ rather than product, as Charlie O'Brien found out

There is benefits if Archer are trying to sell their percentage of the series; arguably a prospective purchaser would be more impressed if the series has a naming rights sponsor, even if the sponsor was paying 'unders'.

I would be doubtful of that. Its easy to get a naming right sponsor, But to get one that brings in income is not easy.

Only a sucker would not want to see the money in the bank.

Contra only benefits the teams, Very little benefit to Archer

I know that many years ago Virgin Australia had a previous anti-motorsport policy in regard to their airline being a sponsor of individual cars or teams as they felt a Virgin Airline car being involved in a crash would send poor messages to fans about flying Virgin, even if it were subliminally.

I'm not sure whether this view has changed, or if they see sponsoring a series as a different kettle of fish.

You're spot-on Mayhem. That was actually a world wide policy within Virgin - they would simply not consider sponsorship of any extreme sports.

Clearly when virgin sponsored or in fact part-owned an F1 team there was a big shift within the company.

It'll be interesting to see today whether the sponsor is virgin and if so what part of the company.

Yeah, when the Brawn F1 team got Branson's cash, I'm pretty sure it was stipulated to be 'Virgin' and not 'Virgin Air' that would appear on their cars. To me this was splitting hairs at the time.
