Thanks,

Jovan was the first, no? in 81.
Budweiser and Volkwagen for sure; Ameriquest obviously, and Sprint rings a bell.
what's the prize in this trivia game, Holzingers?


"What do you want - what?!"

Castrol hasn't, but it should have, cos' CASTROL is a funky name for an oil, and oil is mighty handy stuff - especially useful for lubricating the motors of clapped out Ford Transit vans used for driving up & coming r n' r bands up & down the UK's motorways in the 60's. My own theory is that Mick STILL uses CASTROL GTX in his motors today, he just looks like a CASTROL kinda guy ! I'm really rather surprised that "Start Me Up" wasn't used to promote CASTROL Motor Oil. Imagine the scene ...................... Mick leaps into his Lambo or Ferrari, cranks the motor, a great cloud of smoke emerges from the exhaust, the strains of Start Me Up pipe up, and then the camera zooms in on Mick who proudly announces that he has great faith in CASTROL Motor Oil and that for as long as he's been driving he has been putting CASTROL GTX in his shag-wagons ! That would have been a far better use of "Start Me Up" than promoting Bill (here's yet ANOTHER god awful Windows operating system) Gates' release of XP or whatever the $%$^ it was !!

Do I win the trivia quiz, and where/when do I get my prize - & what is it ?

There's a Castrol promo-video including footage from Stuttgart 99 so I suppose there was a sponsoring for the European tour-dates in 1999.

Tommy Hilfiger (99)
T-Mobile (98)
Sprint (98)
Ameriquest (05)
Jovan (81)
Volkswagen (95)
Mercedes-Benz (05)
Budweiser (94)

I think it's right. Not sure though.

In 1998 there were different sponsors in each European country.
Comviq in Sweden, SAT1 and Radeberger in Germany etc.

Labatts have sponsored in Canada in 89 and I think 94.
Asahi have sponsored in Japan in 98, Suntory in 03.
McDowell's Whiskey in India 03.

What about "Brand new car" being the promo song for CASTROL? They could even create a joint venture with American Caviar.

E-Trade: 40 Licks

I dont recall Pepsi sponsoring a Stones TOUR but the Stones did a corporate show for Pepsi in Hawaii in January 1998 and then the company used "Brown sugar" for an ad. during the Super Bowl a week or two later

I dont remember Coca Cola being a tour sponsor either, but I think pretty much all the others have had some involvement with a Stones tour at some point since 1981

Theres probably even more than whats listed!
