    Ultimately, it's a means to an end.

    Well, you could say that about all teams, with the exception of Williams.

    They are a small team looking to get money anyway they can.

    The thing that baffles me and teejay is why they have higher prices on the engine compartment space that the nose-cone.

    well, obviously because it is much more easy to see than the nose cone. To see the name on the nose cone, you would have to almost have a top-down camera. And the space is bigger on the engine cover.
    Forza Ferrari!

    Initially it sounds like a good idea. But then you think that in F1 - sadly, to me - a lot is about glamour and perks, and is makes it hard to think of them going up the team ladder.
    You can't make a person love another person. You can only pray for it.

    Stupid rules => stupid consequences :s

    It is all about the glitz and glamour, but I see this as involving the little guys and gals of the world in something pretty massive...although, your still going to have to have some pretty serious wedge to win the bidding to get your name on the car...

    Don't even think the big guys would be interested in bidding on this, at about $3,750,000.00 us to start for just that little bit of real estate on the engine cover. I can't imagine anyone bidding on this. (but I do have it in my watch list just in case I dig in my couch and suprise myself...)

    I do see potential in this concept though. A team could put up a little spot on their car for a one off race deal with a low start, no reserve auction, and donate the proceeds to charity.
