      Well, at least three of those are actually car manufacturing companies that used their competition teams to both promote their vehicles and showcase new R&D achievements. Even RedBull has a reputation and history of marketing towards high intensity thrill seeking and adrenaline junkies, which makes sense in a high risk high stakes sport. There’s a qualitative difference between Ferrari and VisaCashappWalmart or whatever it is they’re doing now.
