Reason for Cosworth ad is the fact that its a cosworth engine sitting in there. Ever seen mopar stickers on a Pro car Nissan? Those ads are for its sponsored parts..not an advertisement for consumer products. They can sometimes overlap but are not the same.

sure - that makes sense and i get you about the mopar thing but with the cosworth example, they do actually make subaru tuning parts
the ads always do relate to the brand though - it would just have been nice to see the ad's on there because greddy and cosworth plan to actually make fb20 parts
I guess time will tell - as long as tuners are demonstrating what a range of their products do, and that's fine - i dont expect f1 sponsors to be selling me f1 grade parts for my road car - so i guess the same principle goes here
