    Only a good thing when you can get sponsor money from a stable, profitable company.

    When it absolutely has to be there overnight is a less than reassuring slogan for an F1 car.

    LeMans on the other hand.

    Autosport reports this as the new Ferrari sponsor.

    FedEx was a sponsor not too many years ago, so I suppose it figures UPS would take a turn. That said, the logo placement and colors are not ideal for a Ferrari livery.

    The money is ideal and is well placed. :)

    What do you guys suppose a logo like that size would cost on the Ferrari?

    My best guess would be 5-7mil for the season. Just a guess.

    Their logo kinda matches the scuderia logo over the engine

    My WAG would be quite a bit higher than that. I have zero evidence, but reckon Kaspersky & similar pay about that for less desirable "real estate". They've got a prime, albeit fairly small, location there, so my guess would be ~$20-30MM for the season. I'm pretty sure Jordan :)eek: ;)) once said the sidepods were worth ~$80MM per on a top team. But this was back in the days of "excess" of course.......

    But what dow we know?........ ;)

    Cheers,
    Ian
    PS - UPS are publicly traded, right? I guess the #'s are simply buried in the books somewhere? I suspect a decent bean counter could look back and then at the current situation and derive something that's close?

    The UPS logo might look better on the car if it was moved back 8" to the black carbon fiber
    The black and gold just clashes with Rosso Corsa

    As a FedEx pilot and Ferrari fan, seeing that brown stain on the side of the car breaks my heart...

    UPS' logo right next to the most photographed area of the car (the exhaust!) is big $$$. I don't know about $80mm, but big $$$ no doubt.

    I'm a big Ferrari fan, but have to pass on my brother's comment:

    "don't they know that UPS doesn't deliver on Sundays?"

    everyone's a comedian!
