Grand Prix Story/Sponsors
Sponsors will give you a payout and a bonus at the 6 month and one year mark every year. This payout is equal to the sponsor amount plus a bonus that is proportionate to the ad effect you generated over the past 6 months. The early sponsors can easily be maxed out in 6 months resulting in the bonus being higher than the sponsor amount.
Once you max out an ad effect for a sponsor, you will get a gold star, reward and an introduction to a new sponsor. As soon as this occurs, drop the sponsor and add the new one. Sponsors only give out one reward and introduction so there's no reason to keep them on after you get them.
Ad effects carry over year to year, so if you don't max out a sponsor in one year, you'll likely get them the next year.
