How does that break down per annum?

Obviously no $ figures were mentioned.

Ok sweet. Just figuring if it was really Australia's largest motorsport sponsorship per annum or due to the fact they have signed till 2015. Obviously it is the latter.

Also Head Rev whats in the tv ad that is going to upset the Melbournians

Head Rev · 5 Nov 2006, 10:35 (Ref:1758170)

Along the following lines......
"Want to see the V8's at the Grand Prix" then a clip from last years commercial of the cleaner at the Albert Park track, "Not here mate"........"Want to see the V8's, come to Adelaide for the Clipsal 500 - BE THERE".

Or something very similar, basically having a go at Vic & the AGP for not having the V8's. Just typical interstate rivalry, good clean fun!!!!!!!!

Is it bigger than triple 8 deal with Vodafone over the same period of time??

**GTRMagic** · 2 Nov 2006, 05:02 (Ref:1755877)

Given that the Clipsal launch was attended by Mr Brad Jones, does this suggest he shall be in attendance in his sparco next season?

Head Rev · 2 Nov 2006, 05:32 (Ref:1755885)

Well, they did use one of his display cars (the one that resides at the Clipsal 500 office). No mention of him giving away the Sparco for a Red jacket though!!

Rombles1 · 2 Nov 2006, 06:01 (Ref:1755895)

Is Brad on the TEGA Board? They mentioned that there was a board meeting here today....

I loved it - Jon Stevens performed "Hot Chili Woman", and was announced as headlining the Sunday night concert (Andrew Daniels read it out wrong when he introduced him as playing on the Saturday night!). This is exciting news for me 'cos my wife runs his website!

And sit through 30 plus interviews, no thanks. They generally only have 6 every year, 3 from the red side and 3 from the blue oval.

i would hate to sit through 31 interviews aswell but i thought it might have been like a NRL Grand Final breakfast they have all 17 players there but only interview the Captain and the 'Big Names/Main Players' i thought it could of been like interview the 'Big Name' Drivers.but what they had was very efficant and it works all the time so why change it.

It comes down to attracting new fans. If they want to attract new people to attend the events and watch on TV, they'll just bring the well known names from each side and they will be protrayed as "The Contenders". Only problem I have with that is all new supporters usually start following them and none of the lower teams...

totally agree got to have new and more fans and boost atendance TV ratings,and paying 3 of the 'best'/'contenders' from each side to attend is cheaper thanpaying the 26 others to attend and just sit silent.

true that that people will follow the 'big names' rather than theother guys,but i surpose it is the same as the melbourne cup you are going to pick a favourite over a horse that is 100-1.the only problem i have is the support catergories don't get much coverage or not the amount they deserve,they have some of the best racing of the weekend,well atleast the Aussie Racing Cars and the Historics do,the utes have some pretty good races IMO.

Other commitments/family/in Tasmania...?

Tracy · 3 Nov 2006, 09:50 (Ref:1756991)

Other commitments definitely for Murph and Jason Richards

Murph is in Taupo for the motorcross with KTM, and Jason Richards is at Pukekohe watching the NZV8 round (or he was today anyway) with Kevin Murphy.

Treasurer and minister responsible for motorsport, Kevin Foley, said the agreement was "the largest sports sponsorship deal ever in SA." It's estimated the naming rights are about $1 million a year but Clipsal will spend more than that leveraging its involvement.
