One look at the cars themselves will tell you that too. Plastered with genuine sponsorship from major brands like Red Bull, Shell and Coca Cola.
And up until quite recently, quite heavy manufacturer involvement, at least on local dealer level. Ford Australia closing in 2013 and then Holden disappearing in 2020 after ending local manufacturing in 2017 has shaken things up a bit their too now.
