Honda's tobacco sponsor is British Amarican Tobacco. (BAT)
The usual product advertising seen on Hondas isn't sold in China, but 555 is.

Out of the car, Rubens and Jensen look like Suburu drivers. Such it is with brand association. Go Suburu!

I liked the new livery even more than the old one, at least its identificable.

Thats right... I never could understand what "Look Alike" meant, or Be On Edge" either. Where do I get those "Look Alikes" anyway? :lol: :lol:

BAR tested different liveries before using the Lucky Strike one.

First, they tried to have a car with 555 and a car with Lucky Strike, but it's forbidden. Then, they had two cars half Lucky Strike, half 555.

Do you have pics from these periods?

it was Jordan that first carried the logo, aswell as Buzing Hornets in the late 90s.
