Bang on. I don't remember the exact figure, but when PT went to Monster asking for a full season sponsorship they calculated how much the exposure would be worth. I could probably dig it up somewhere, but well, it was a lot less than today's costs. To get a field that isn't made up of ride buyers there needs to be a good ROI for businesses.
