FIA allows tobacco ads after 2006
On legal advice the FIA has withdrawn the ban on tobacco sponsorship in motor sport voted in October, 2000 (for implementation in 2006) and substituted the following as arecommendation: that motor sport promoters and competitors (including circuit owners, event organisers, teams, and drivers) should cease all forms of tobacco sponsorship from October 1, 2006.This change is likely to influence the location of future GP's, as Europ e forbids tobacco advertising from 2006 on.
