I am delighted to advise sponsors that we have paid for the Cuisine de France / SPAR race car complete with all sponsor graphics to be loaded in to the new Fun Cup computer game.
We will shortly be giving the OK for the car to be added and it will be
released for anyone to download and add it to their game. Then at the
next release of the game (1-2 months) it will be included as one of the
car choices. When the game is ready to download with our car as an option,
I will let you know.

Cuisine de France / SPAR race car on the page. The existing game has already
had over 75,000 downloads.
