Fitha_whiskey Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I used to be a huge nascar fan but I don’t watch it much anymore. I always love to watch Daytona though, and I can’t wait to watch this car! I’d love to see it make it to the finish- there are so many big wrecks at Daytona that finishing 500 miles is a major accomplishment in itself really… It’s also awesome that they are on King Richard’s old 43… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You my good man are presenting a very US centric view here. HA! 😂 I'm English for a start, not American, and I live in the UK. I've also been working in motorsport for several years (part of that involved covering NASCAR in the past). I kinda know what I'm talking about 🤷♂️ Motorsport is niché in the grand scheme of things no matter what series it is, but behind F1, NASCAR probably the most watched disclipine out there when everything is factored in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the race that car will be a complete wreck, just like the real Guns n' Roses. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post metallex78 Posted February 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2023 Fans: please give us new music! GN’R: here’s our logo on a race car I think that pretty much sums up being a fan of this band. 4 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carburetta Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 One thing is clear to me at least, Guns N’ Roses didn’t spend USD 500k to add livery to a car in the Nascar 500 without good reason. Please feel free to correct me on how much this might be costing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I have a theory of what will happen. A third of the way into the race, the car's wrap will fly off, revealing a similar wrap, but in the 2006 GN'R logo style. Then 2/3 of the way into the race, that wrap will fall off, revealing the 2002 GN'R logo, and this represents the new album will be 1/3 tracks from 2002-2004, as they existed then with Buckethead and Robin, and 1/3 as they existed in 2006, with Bumblefoot and Frank (surprisingly, on the former) on some songs, and the other third of the new album is CD-era tunes touched up or re-recorded by Slash and Duff.

Please feel free to correct me on how much this might be costing. You're in the right ballpark. The numbers never officially get released unless it's a public company/party sponsoring, or if there's a lawsuit. But based on the information out there regarding other one-race deals, the level of the team, and a premium for it being a popular race, $500k won't be a million miles off. It might be less, it's unlikely to be more though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is GNR. 21 hours ago, Swedish said: I'm not saying this NASCAR thing will lead to anything, I've given up hope on that years ago... But sponsoring a car in a NASCAR Cup Race costs several hundred thousand dollars, and I would assume that price would be even higher for Daytona 500. Why would they waste that amount without something to promote? It would be idiotic. Which, well wouldn't be the first time they had idiotic promotion campaigns. For literally ANY other band in the world I would agree lmao 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnrcane Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Erik Jones qualified #14. Hopefully that signifies the number of days until a new single is released (and not months or years). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
