Thanks, Dave.  I wondered why McLaren could not 'promote" this sponsor in
France.  Now I know!

I believe it's a cigarette company. Notice that the paint jobs are different in countries that
prohibit tobacco sponsorship. This week in France, the Mclaren cars carry "Mika" & " David" in place
of the West sponsorhip. Hope this helps.

Dekra in the UK is a timber building company, Dekra Germany, which could be
the parent company, seem to build things in German and a lot of it.

I think they sponsored Damon Hill in his F1 career.

Hi,
   Another question, who or what is "Orange", it is in the
color "orange" on a black background on signs and with
the Arrows team I believe...  I just answered my own qeustion
at orange.com, but I am not going to erase this now! :)  They
are a wireless company.

Later,
John

Jordans are "Buzzing Hornets" instead of Bensons & Hedges in the no-fag
