HandyNZL 1 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 http://www.totalf1.com/full_story/view/311...uTube_to_US_F1/ Well, they only really have one sponsor, but they're leaving. Halfway through the season and still no sponsor....next year, instead of earthdreams, it'll be Ross' Dreams.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 So that should be "leaving in drove", then. Priced themselves out of the market, what? Stupid Fry. Or is 'ol beardy Branson just a tight git with an eye for a bargain? He didn't get rich by spending it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rainmaster 7 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 I read today that Brawn are headed to Manor for next season. Apparently a deal between Virgin and Brawn for next year failed due to the team not wanting to give up the name. Maybe Ross Brawn is a person of supreme arrogance after all.

Cinco 30 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 Just why would YouTube need to sponsor a car? Who the hell doesn't know what YouTube is? Then again, if Danica sleeps her way to a Super License, they can put all of her childish fits as featured videos to boost hits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cinco 30 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 Yes, money. They'll lose a lot of it when Team US F1 tumbles around in the back of the grid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rainmaster 7 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 5 letters, M-O-N-E-Y. Being in F1 doesn't generate profits though...does it? Besides, like Eric said, Youtube just does not need to be involved in F1, at all! Google already loses upwards of $200m a year on Youtube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cinco 30 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 I wouldn't expect YouTube on any sidepods soon...when Team US F1 was announced, SPEED TV stated they would air behind the scenes programming of the work that goes into getting an F1 team off the ground. Now, SPEED is only in the USA and Canada, so it seems like YouTube is just looking at a deal to air an US F1 content shown on SPEED TV over their website for the rest of the world. It would make sense, since sites like Veoh and Google Video have full-length movies and TV shows on them, and sites like Ustream and Justin TV are airing TV shows (albeit illegally) live on the Internet. I doubt we'll see any branding on the car, but that's just a guess at this point. Insider, I trust you'd know better than most about these new US sponsors looking at Brawn, but SprintNextel? They currently sponsor NASCAR's premier series for a Sh#tload of money and a half, and are struggling with that. I don't see them expanding to an F1 program when they've been trying to sell themselves to just about everyone (Google, T-Mobile, etc) over the last three years or so.

Cinco 30 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Actually, the name change makes "totol" sense to me...Toto manufacture extremely powerful toilets with the kind of strength you would need to flush away all the Batracer-related content on this forum. Speaking of Batracer, did you know its the best game ever, and for a one-time fee of $32,000,000 you get KOOL TOOLS, which don't do anything, but they're KOOL!

Yeah, I like how it lists your interests on the sidebar, because it makes your posts take up more space, which is really reprsentative of real life, with you needing to purchase five seats to fly on an airplane and all.
