As I understand it, they can run in livery for NATIONAL meetings, but not for INTERNATIONAL meetings, eg Bathurst or Austrailian Grand Prix.
The bluring out of the tobacco sponsors on OLD footage shown on Bathurst tv coverage in recent times is complete b#llsh!t as far as I am concerned.
It is so pleasant to see the Winfield and Peter Jackson names on the works Nissans this weekend at Sandown...even though the weather is wintery and not what I came prepared for...but that's another thread.
