The following are advertizments featuring GM Motorsports
Camaro's and Trans Ams used in the Player's Challenge Series or as it was later
known, the Player's LTD./GM Motorsport series.

1986
|
|
|
Here is an early advertizement that was published in
1986/1987 issues of "Formula 2000" Magazine.
|
Ad featuring GM cars from 1986 Molson Indy program. The Ad is in
French. |
|
1987
|
|
|
This is from the 1987 season Vol2 No4 inside cover. This is
similar to GM's advertizing used in 86/87, however with the wording
changed to gratitude from the usual marketing approach.
|
While not a GM Ad, this is a great example of the cars on the
track. This was released in 1987 season from the inside
back cover of the Vol 2, No4 issue of the series news letters.
|
|
|
1988
|
|
|
Perhaps the most famous picture from the racing series,
"Dr.Jekyll Mr. Hyde". This picture was featured in many
magazines, local advertizments, and was given out as both small and large
posters.
|
|
|
|
Here is the same pictures, but in a series of other
layouts. This was feature on the inside of the Championship Edition '88.
|
A small 8X10 handout with racing dates and
locations.
|
A small 8X10 handout with racing dates and locations
(slight difference from prior version) |
|
1989
|
|
|
Again the Mr.Hyde was continued in 1989. This
was from the inside cover of the 1989 Championship Edition.
|
Another well known poster and advertizment from 1989.
GM started to focus on it's sponsorship in other racing programs such as
the Corvette Challenge
|
|
|
|
Same
as as above, but in French. This is from the 1989 Montreal Grand
Prix program.
|
|
1990
|
|
|
Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde continued in 1990 however notice the
cars are the 1990 models and not the 1991 as were used in the
series. The 1990 production ended in late December 1989. All
models after that, including the 1990 series cars were actually 1991 model
year cars. This advertizement was created in late 1989 to promote
the 1990 series.
|
|
|
|
1990
|
|
|
Again in 1990, GM continued with promoting all of their
sponsorships in one combined Ad. This Ad from the 1990 Molson Indy
program features the correct 1991 Model year Player's cars.
|
|
|
|
1991
|
|
|
1991 Firebird Brochure
This is the absolute definition of race on Sunday, sell on
Monday. GM told buyers to order the 1LE option in order to get the
same brakes and suspension as the race cars. |
1991 Camaro Brochure
Ditto!
|
|
|
|
Another various on GM's multi car ads. This is from
1991. It features a 1991 Camaro with the Sunoco logo on the front
fender indicating it was an Eastern car. There was another car with
a Mohawk logo that was campaigned out West.
|
Similar ad as left, however the Camaro features a
Mohawk logo on the front fender instead of Sunoco. This was the
difference between Eastern and Western sponsors (Sunco - East, Mohawk -
West).
|
|
|
1992
|
By 1992, much of the advertizing for Player's LTD./GM
Motorsports had disappeared. The Camaro's and Firebirds were going
through a model change and by late 1992, the announcement that the series
was ending had happened.
As of the time of this writing, no specific GM Motorsport Ad's have been found.
