Toyota GT-One - Sponsorship

Sponsorship

Marlboro was the Toyota GT-One sponsor in 1999 (hence the white chevron with red body livery) although there was an anti-tobacco law in France which meant no Marlboro logos appeared on the car anywhere. In pictures of practice sessions, Marlboro barcodes across the front of the car (which also appeared on the Ferrari Formula One cars during tobacco legislated grand prix) are seen, although these barcodes do not appear on the final race car. Other sponsors included Zent (Number 1 Car), Venture Safenet (Number 2 Car) and Esso (Number 3 Car).
