Gives you wings...

I passed the Red Bull milk float on the way home down the M1 last night.  Yeah, it was on a trailer, not trundling along at low-rider speeds.

How come Red Bull haven't thrown a wad of sponsorship dosh at a major Moth championships?  Surprisingly, it says on the Australian site that they were "not keen" to sponsor Belmont.  Yet they must be spending tens, if not hundreds, of thousands supporting their Extreme 40.  The overall budget must be enormous across all their sports sponsorships.

Surely the return from a Moths champs would be worth the investment?  Forget a few decals from the Italian state car manufacturer - a fully branded RB Moth or three would look awesome.  The Moth class would certainly give Red Bull wings!
