Wasn't that Porsche Salzburg ? Why they refused tio put their logo on it I don't know though.
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

If they were so worried about their image, why did they later sponsor David Jason to drive the Martini Capri 3100 RS?
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Maybe the decision fell after a couple of too much of their drinks. How on earth could they swith to the pink pig design. No way they were sober at that time. ;D
