Australian politicians have called for all alcohol sponsorship to be banned at the Clipsal 500 V8 motor race in Adelaide.
A number of teams competing in the Adelaide street race have alcohol companies as sponsors or backers.
South Australian Democrat MP Sandra Kanck said having spirit and wine companies associated with motor racing promoted the combination of alcohol and fast driving.
Ms Kanck said tobacco sponsorship of sport, including motor racing, was banned in the 1980s and it was time to do the same with alcohol sponsorship of car racing.
