Marlboro Sponsorship

If you watched any of the top tier motorsports since the 1970s, chances are pretty good that you've seen a Marlboro sponsored vehicle.  Their mainstay has been F1 but have also dabbled in WRC, MotoGP, and Le Mans.  Their sponsorship have appeared on the vehicles of champions like Wayne Rainey, Michael Schumacher, Tommi Makinen, Ayrton Senna, and Casey Stoner, just to name a few.  Whether displaying the Marlboro name or a simple bar code, you can count of Marlboro to be at the track for many years to come.

  2. Penske ran the Marlboro schemes exclusively for more than a decade (91-05) with other sponsors other years as well, including 7 Indy 500 winners if I count right... 91/93/94/01/02/03/06 and in 09 Castroneves still ran the livery with the name removed.

  5. Are you paying more than $5 / pack of cigs? I'm buying high quality cigs from Duty Free Depot and this saves me over 60% from cigs.
