I bought a secondhand racesuit off fleabay. Thought I got a bargain but now I'm concerned the sponsor logo's on the suit might be illegal.
There's no booze or fags but can anybody tell me if the following sponsor patches on my suit will cause a problem?

RBS
Hamley's
At&T
Allianz
Reuters
Bridgestone
Philips Savers
Siemens

thanks

As long as it hasn't got any other driver's names on it it should be fine.

Are you sponsored by all those companies or just planning on giving them a bit of free advertising?!

Basically only cigarette advertising or anything considered to be bringing the sport in to disrepute is banned smile

I don't think it is a mechanic's suit as they normally have a few more pockets and belt loops scattered around them.

The suit looks like it's never been worn and came in a bespoke bag with a tag saying "A Wurz" on it.

I think it was a suit made for Wurz to test in which obviously never got used. It's definitely not an full race day suit as it's lacking many of the larger sponsor logos.

Aside from me looking like a complete spanner in the pitlane, it looks like I've got a bargain compared to the equivalent new suits.
