The news article is also saying Dean Canto with Winterbottom. That would make an interesting combo.

No X Box signage whatsoever, hope that doesn't mean they're gone completely,they've had one of the nicest liveries out there in the X Box colours.

Interesting to see they've picked up MightyMite, have they left Prodrive/FPR/PRA?

Or are Monster stepping up from his personal sponsors to a car sponsor in some small capacity...? Interesting.

It is likely that Castrol are part of that mix, having already been on the #5 & #6 for a looooong time... and a tie-in with SuperCheap would likely work well for all if planned/executed well..

No sponsor yet for Rick

Rick Kelly with no news on a sponsor yet:

“But there is a lot of interest around; it is a matter of putting the plans in place. We will have that nailed, one way or another, and it might be that it is a similar strategy to what we ran on a couple of our cars last year.

I'm personally not upto speed on the budgets required, especially for the front running teams

$500,000 fairly cheap for naming rights?

But that's for one car only. With HRT/Walkinshaw, it was going to be $750,000 per car. $750,000 for title sponsorship with an official factory car is pretty cheap and with two cars at $1.5m, that doubles their advertising yield.

RBRA allegedly operates at somewhere around $3.5m per car per annum....

.. but they don't have private businesses covering any shortfall.

To give you an idea, the green #1 car allegedly costs a frag less than $2m for naming rights..

Reckon the cost of a running a car for Cam waters might be a little less than running a car for JC, just driver wages alone
