Following the announced shared sponsorship between LucasGP and Peugeot of TSB, the departure of Lewis Ellington and therefore the cancelled sponsorship from PepsiCo and the axing of Inside Peugeot by BBC, the team have announced a new line up of sponsors in advance of series 3. Despite a previous announcement that PepsiCo would sponsor the team in multiple forms and that a fan vote would determine the sponsors, the team later confirmed that this pended on Lewis Ellington remaining in the team. Since then, Ellington has announced that he will move to sister team, LucasGP, the new title sponsor will be the Google Nexus brand.
Supporting this, Air France have also been confirmed as a secondary sponsor alongside the previously announced TSB and AXA PPP Healthcare. TF1 logos continue to remain on the car after renewing a stake in the team and renewing the documentary series, 'Inside Peugeot'. The series has since been axed by BBC but will continue to replay old episodes on Motors TV. The team also confirmed BNP Paribas will no longer feature on the car after a dispute between the French bank and TSB. New minor sponsors also include French telecommunications company Bouygues Telecom, Wilson Oils and Sonos. Development driver Arthur Daniau is heavily sponsored by Air France and Nexus, could this be all but confirmation the team wish to sign the Frenchman to the team.
