*Damo speaking*
I just recently became a part of F1 for this year. I thought it would be a good year to be involved considering that I'm off to the Monaco GP this year.
So therefore, my name will be printed on the Honda Racing Team RA107's front wing.
If you want to do the same thing, you can go to http://www.myearthdream.com and follow the links to pledge.
I should probably also mention that it's going to be microscopic, literally.... The new livery for the Honda this year is a picture of the Earth from Google Earth (pictured below), and the colours will be made up of people's names who make environmental pledges. I've pledged to turn off the TV at the set and to not unnecessarily charge my mobile phone. So my name will be appearing as 1 pixel of the front wing livery of the Honda RA107 - and I got it for the bargain basement price of £1.

That is very f*cking cool!!
Love ya work.
You sponsor an F1 car!! Unreal.
The livery looks a bit pox in that photo, but I bet once it is on the track it will look shit hot.
I'll give you more than a pixel for a pound on our car. Although you might not get the same TV coverage... :-)
What do you think of the actual car colour scheme though? I saw it on TV for Melbourne and thought "what a strange colour scheme, it must be one of the bottom three teams" :)
At Daz: It is cool - I thought it was a great idea.
At Troy: Yeah - I'm not sure that Qld IPRA has quite the same number of viewers as F1. Viewing figures on Briz31 are quite impressive though. :-)
At Adrian: I actually quite like the look of the car when it's just sitting there, but agree that it looks strange on track. However, there's no doubt that Honda obviously haven't spent my £1 wisely and invested it into the performance of the car. What an appalling season they're shaping up to have.
On the bright side, it will be going slow enough when it passes me at Monaco that I might be able to use my new zoom lense and actually see my name.... ;-)
All of the 3D liveries actually just don't translate that well onto the track - the Scuderia Toro Rosso team's livery looks appalling too, and it's a similar sort of concept.
