In case Y’all haven’t heard, the Virgin Formula 1 Team will be running with Cars 2 signage aboard those ultra fast VRM-02 chassis in order to promote the Blockbuster sequel’s UK release during the British GP weekend. As although I cannot see it – reportedly they’ll be featuring some sorta Lightning McQueen logo upon their Sidepods, etc.

And don’t forget ‘bout that ridiculous STUNT where apparently somebody scraped away several thousands of Diamonds upon an overly ‘Blingy front Nosecone for an Oceans 22 relase; Hmm? I believe that was a Jaguar publicity stunt too?
Meanwhile, Bob Varsha mused how some cynical ‘Wag noted how it was ironic that Lightning McQueen was on the Virgin’s flanks. Since unlike the Virgin’s, Lightning has actually WON a race; YOUCH!

Give ‘em HELL Timo & Jerome!
