You always see racing vehicles with massive graphics on their cars advertising Mobil 1, Castrol, Pennzoil, etc., etc.
I've always wondered about the "relationship" between oil manufacturers and the racing teams - do the manufacturers PAY the racing teams (i.e., sponsorship, etc.) to put those huge graphics on their cars or do the teams really believe (and use) in those oils and that's why they graphics are there, etc.
Years ago I spoke to the Nissan Racing Department and the guy I spoke to suggested I use M1 in my Nissan truck based on how impressed he was from tearing engines down (their racing cars) and how clean they looked, etc., etc. So I've always wondered - do they believe in the oil they're advertising on their cars/trucks or are they just pimping Brand X because they're getting paid to do so?
