@pawel567like you understand the issue? for example the advertising boards around the track are usually what it is in real life. now you add a circuit from long time ago and put it in the F1 licenensed game there would be some questions regarding the sponsorship in game. Im not an expert in this case but could imagine things like aramco or pirelli who could perhabs claim they should run the sponsors of the circuit. just a thought but this is basically what we are talking about.
Or simply FOM fearing since its the licensed game that brands could potetially claim rights for exlusive sponsorships in the f1 game.
- pawel5673 years agoNew Ace@Wollcott Significantly these tracks i.e. Germany Hanoi + short track versions (USA, GB,Sakhir and Suzuka) are not as far away as Turkey Sepang. All of these tracks were in F1 2020 (Germany in 2019) so nothing would stand in the way + the sponsors would rather agree as it's also publicity and money for them (FOM had money from it too) and the track owners would be happy that their tracks are popular so just ask FOM if they would agree to it

@Wollcott you seem to be right, it could be a long legal battle between Liberty Media/FOM and EA/Codemasters even if they decided to put up themselves as sponsors around the track, not mentioning if EA/CM tried to find sponsorship outside LM/FOM.
