I guess I am thinking as to what the more specific answer would be in terms of how a manufacturer converts their rallying programme into vehicle sales. Do they use adverts on TV / Indents on websites / Youtube / Social media?
I do my best to try and turn ads off where possible and I don't read any printed publications any longer, so am I simply out of the marketing firing line or in the wrong territory (UK) to see the ads?
So yes Mirek, I understand the importance of brand identity and agree that a lot probably skip ads, but that still leaves the question - how are the manufacturers converting the exposure the programmes bring into sales?
Lowest point was probably when they had to put the top class drivers to run RX2e cars for the final races of the season, after the whole fire on the Lancias drama.
