A few years ago the Grand Prix series use to have some really good sponsors around the air fence and on race jackets such as Castrol, Coca Cola, KFC, Fiat, Egg etc. Now the only two sponsors they have are Speedy Hire & Meridian Lifts. The rest of the airfence is taken up advertising upcomg GP's like Cardiff and the speedwayworld website address. Very poor, thought things werer going to get bigger with IMG.
What do you class as good sponsors ? Coca cola and kfc were polish and supplied products only. Fiat and Egg paid but do you know how much. I do and it wasnt big money. Would you rush out and buy a fiat ? No as there rubbish and i dont want a card with a stupid name.
I agree with you that all the advertising of gp is a waste and pointless.
