Toyota announces WRC plans

[Rallyper]

KWH Pipe making wastewater cleaning systems. Bought one from them five years ago for about 30000 Euros. Just because they sponsored Toyota. (Small lie but still)

[N.O.T]

Sorry if I sound intrusive. For me this is overflowing:


I know who DMG sponsor in WEC, but hardly can see them on the Yaris. And Microsoft look like a small software company being a partner, but not some major sponsor.

well kid the era where motorsports was the king when it came to marketing is over, nowadays people prefer to stay home and spend time on their playstations.

To expect you are going to see these images again means you live in star trek land and should not bother with reality.

You still don't read carefully do You?


How about this for modern times?

Red Bull is basically sponsoring every moving vehicle in motorsport...

Like Marlboro & Camel @ the 80's & 90's. Is it overflowing? Yes it is, I rest my case.

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Yes good sponsors, but surely they want to advertise the Toyota name more, especially as they are 'new' to the WRC ?

Even the Champions cars still have a large VW logo on them...

Okay so I see now you are talking about a complete sponsor takeover of the livery. Toyota still retained their corporate colours on the car. But just because the car isn't branded up like Windows 10 doesn't mean it isn't a significant sponsorship. Just like the Mercedes in F1 retains the Silver Arrows look of Mercedes, but it's sponsorship deals are worth more than most rally partnerships combined.

Anyway this is just the show car and I'm sure it will look different in many ways come January.

[Jarek Z]

The car looks hideous, but I hope it is good.

I agree, it is truly awful.

It's ok, just don't say it is overflowing, because it actually isn't. Not that I'm not happy with this endeavor, but just lets face the reality, shall we?

I think the language barrier is getting in the way to be honest. All I was trying to say was that it's good to see new sponsors in the sport. Not sure why you couldn't let that stand.
