    You might be right. But when we sponsor cars fully as we have many times. Where did you ever see it printed that it was the TDP S13. Never it was always the tire sponsor who got the name before the car or drivers name. It should be relative to the amount put forward by the sponsor. But since PD deal with the tire sponsors for the drivers they always come first.

    Chuck I believed that you agreed to carry TDP stickers 4 off on you car for a season in return for money off your ecu and mapping. Did you have the correct numbers of stickers on it for the year ?

    Well i dont know the price of them excatly i just used nankangs as an example,if tyres are matched the pretty same price wise the chances are they will go with the one they associate with what ever sport there into.

    I have NO problem promoting you and the lads because of the level of work ye provide, if you want to throw a few stickers on the bmw this year, no problem at all.

    Hi Chuck, I am not complaining but its just an example of what happens and the sponsors some times dont get the coverage as agreed form the competitors. Irish sport still dose not understand sponsorship like in other countries.

    Kool, well i always make sure any of my sponsors get a mention with name drops etc no matter how small they are. I also thank them in any build threads or anything and at the end of season. I agree, you need to back the ppl that in turn back you.

    On topic of martins dilemma, could you not try pull off round 1 Martin, show your skills, win some silverwear and then hunt for sponsors........

    I know im no where near Pro standard but thats kinda my plan, i have my entries paid for for the year but if i can make any headway with a more reliable car i hope to get some more ppl on board by showing them what i can do. On the flip side i cud go threw the wall in Ennis n fuck up in true me style

    I do hope to see you out, entertainment in a can.

    Course it is complicated, doesn't take a genius to figure that... Sponsorship in PD is a joke IMO...Lads that deserve it dont get it.

    But is all this too'n and fro'n helpin Martins case? I think not....All looks a bit bitter to me.

    People who can do never get good sponsors in this county as bull shit usually wins through.

    Martin has the best media machine of all the drifters in the country already. He has been on speed hunters more than any other driver so if he really want a sponsor he need to collate all past results and media coverage into viewing statistics and go see some companies that are still making a profit.
