| Lots of sports were used for tobacco advertising. http://tobacco.stanford.edu/tobacco_main/subtheme.php?token=fm_mt018.php | |

| Only one of those posters has an actual driver though, and that's the first one with Joe Leonard. The rest are all actors, correct, if they're drivers I don't recognize any of them and some of the cars are fake as well.

| Apparently its also impossible to do sports without alcoholic beverages (though each publication on training and nutrition I've read so far emphasizes the adverse effects of alcohol on recovery), and especially if you look at the number of cars sponsored by beer and booze brands, DUI seems to be no big issue... On some of those ads, you can see the car and person have been edited into the picture. I've read somewhere, though I haven't found it so far, even nonsmoker Jacky Ickx once posed for JPS... | |

| I once asked Jägermeister if I could put their logo on a virtual car, but they were already going by the motto "booze and racing don't mix well, we've left that area behind".
Martini turned me down(shortly before they returned to F1, muppets).
That F1-like car with the #1... looks like somebody tried to combine the Teapot Ligier with spare parts of a March chassis with Ford engine? | |

| It's a March 721 from 1972 with Lauda at the wheel. Can't believe you didn't get that. | |

| the Car in the Viceroy Ad is a 721X, it was a bit of a disaster. The Works team opted to go with the car that CMG had purchased from them and ran the 721G for the rest of the season. I don't think anyone who purchased an actual 721 finished the season with it, Frank Williams had modified his cars, they put a nose similar to the 721G and did some other modifications.
