"Force RS supported in F12002 for PS2"

Get this pop up when entereing the ACT-LABS site.  And a picture of a
BMW Williams with the AL logo on the front wings where the (IIRC)
Fed-Ex logo should be.  Companies pay *a lot* of money for that real
estate...

My neighbour works in the marketing arm of BMW UK and has many
dealings with the F1 side of things.  I might ask her out of curiosity
what their legal stance might be.  Without naming names, of course.

Since you ask, it was a slow time at work - so no.  And as I was at work I
was not in a position to lap endlessly around Vegas trying to get a setup
that I can actually drive... (another extremely productive way of spending
time)

I know that F1 sponsorship is big bucks, and a company producing an ad where
it decides to superimpose it's own logo over that of a paid-up sponsor seems
iffy to me.  Not truly sim related, I'spose, but not a million miles away
either.

And now I actually -do- have something better to do - house repairs.

Good point, Mark.  And, I think your suspicions are correct, they can't do
that.  It was probably some "eager-beaver" in the back room at AL who did
it.  And, upper management has either not caught it, or haven't seen it yet.
