Will they sponsor the Tomorrowland Speedway too? Why wouldn't they do both?

The sponsorship is fairly new at least I believe it is. Autopia just opened from a long refurb at Disneyland this past Friday.Pretty sure that's been that way for awhile....
No inside information, but I'd suspect there's something in the Test Track deal that says GM has exclusive rights.Why wouldn't they do both?
Chevy is the title sponsor of Test Track now. Yes I know GM owns Chevy but it seems they only want to focus on Chevy instead of where it used to be GM for the old version of Test Track.No inside information, but I'd suspect there's something in the Test Track deal that says GM has exclusive rights.
The contract is with GM. If indeed the exclusivity clause exists in the sponsorship agreement, you can be sure that there'd be no conflict if GM wanted to sponsor the Speedway and brand it as Cadillac.Chevy is the title sponsor of Test Track now.

This was just changed at Disneyland rescently. Honda is a new sponsor out there.
So do I. It was Chevron gas before.I thought they've been the sponsor out there for ages...... Guess I'm confusing it with the December 2015 announcement as I'm looking it up.
Just for all clarity/transparency, I drive a Honda.
Crikey Tomorrowland Speedway really needs new investment from somewhere. I remember it looking dated almost 12 years ago. Such a large area that it takes up for such a poor attraction. There's definitely a place for this type of ride, just please atleast make an attempt to theme it to fit in Tomorrowland.

Mid century modern is the trendiest thing out there right now. And WDW has an entire land of it, lying dormant like Sleeping Beauty. The real thing, authentic, not a modern retro one. All they have to do is awaken it from underneath the silly nineties space toon alien overlay. WDW, embrace your inner mid mod, rather than hide it!Maybe they should just go for the Future that never was in Tomorrowlands in general.
Agreed. Speedway was iffy-at-best in Tomorrowland even in the 1970's. The Indianapolis 500 overlay it got in the 1990's wasn't the real change the attraction needed.
A neat thing Disneyland's new Honda Autopia got was a pre-show and queue enhancements that show Walt Disney's old "Magic Highways USA" film from 1958 that showed what the future of freeways and driving would be like. It's hysterical in all its predictions and its' 1950's campyness. But it could work great as a theme for the Tomorrowland locale; they could even rename Speedway to Autopia like every other Castle park around the world. (Wait, I think Tokyo calls their Autopia a "Speedway" too. But Anaheim, Paris and Hong Kong have Autopias)
Uncle Walt gives us a "realistic look at the road ahead" in Magic Highway USA. Hysterical! And a valid Autopia/Speedway theme for the 21st century.

*eyes TTC too*
Great brevity of words to describe why FW never made TL obsolete!There's your New Tomorrowland Disney. Fill it with the most amazing fantasies of the future you can without worrying about realism. That's for Future World.
Colourful at night, but otherwise it is to vintage TL as your local McDonald's double M arch is to the Empire State Building.As long as this look stays and is expanded upon.
