Lowndes is the attraction for sponsors and Roland should know it. The amount of sponsors that would leave would be a disaster for Triple 8. Even with Red Bull and Holden they still would struggle to stay with Penske you would think
So you know this for a fact Mceci?

So I guess the fact the Red Bull also personally sponsor [as in pay money] to SVG would mean that they were not one of the sponsors that to quote you "no sponsor wanting to back SVG?

So instead maybe you should say "other than Red Bull no other sponsor wanted to back SVG".

By the way you might also have noticed that the Giltrap Group and Smeg appear on SVG helmet as his personal sponsor's so I guess they must also not be aware how un-sponsorable SVG is?
