FIA 1000, post HIH
Does anyone know the likely future of FIA's Bathurst sponsorship,
now that HIH has gone down? I see that Allianz has taken on FIA's policy liabilities. Allianz is also one of Williams F1 major sponsors. As well as having a of lot track signage in Europe this year. Anyone heard a whisper?... Started a rumour?... Cheers R. |

Thats a good question Rusty. I know FAI still exists under FAI Finance and FAI Home Security, so maybe they will continue as per there agreement.
Or they may use another name - hmmm, this is a good question. Answers anybody? |

Only thing I know for sure is that Gallaher won't be looking to rekindle their association with the race.

FIA withdrew their sponsorship of Bathurst at least 4 or 5 months ago. Don't believe a replacement has yet been announced.
Sort of like the sponsor for the NZ round.... |

If you go to FAI's site you'll see Allianz own the name and the business.
What's the chances come October. We'll see Bathurst done up in a bright blue? R. |

I am pretty sure that FAI had already planned to withdraw from bathurst sponsorhip prior to them going bankrupt.
The new sponor for Bathurst is me - 'The Scott Russell Bathurst 1000'

Yes, DNQ, that was the import of both those posts.
I doubt there'll be trouble finding a naming rights-sponsor, but the late hour may mean they have to settle for a lower figure. |
