Want to sponsor a Formula Ford team?

[|PRESA|]

Want to learn more and be involved within a car racing team?

I am chasing a goal I have set in my life to move up the ranks in motorsport, with a background in karting for the past 10 years, I have pretty much conquered what I can in kart racing and it's time to move up a category.

I have recently attended a Formula Ford test day at Calder Park Raceway and for my first time in a race car which wasn't set up for the circuit I was only 4secs off State Championship times. With every session and the more I done laps my times were getting faster and faster, however unfortunately we had to call an early day after brake problems.

Anyway my aim isn't to bore people so I'll get to the point, I have recently been taken up by a company who wish to support me in racing the 2006 Victorian Formula Ford Championships, the owner of the car I tested is more than happy to supply is car for the 2006 season.

Basically I am after a major sponsor to take on board as we are in need of atleast $20,000 to contest the 2006 season. Of course you don't only get the advantage of advertisement on the race car but what we offer is worth the price.

I have dealt with numerous companies to try and get sponsorship but with no luck, it seems these days you have to know someone who can get you places and until you make a name for yourself no one wants to know you.

If you are interested or know anyone interested in a worthwhile marketing opportunity in motorsport, please supply your details and I will forward on a detailed proposal.

Thank you all for your time.

Good luck fetching a sponsor, what chassis will you be runnin?

The best bet is get busy with professional proposal/portolios, demonstrating the exposure to different markets etc, ppl dont just throw money at ppl, i have had to work hard and cash in friendships to get enough money to run this years Dutton,

I'll be running a '95 model Van Diemen, it's got a fresh engine and I feel it's definately capable of running competitively.

I've been doing proposals for my karting for the past 4 years, recently came up with a new one for the Formula Ford and sent them off to a few companies already with no luck.

It's a tough business out there, motorsports is about money and who you know.

So many people with talent but no money, then again theres no many people with money but no talent.

Good luck with it PRESA.

In my experience you either need a personal contact in an interested company, or a synergy in products that you can leverage.

Unfortunatley FFord like all open wheelers are some of the least similar to the road car industry which can make it difficult. All the best, get what you can, and most of all, look after the people that do come on board!

[|PRESA|]

Most definately, I will look after the people who look after me! After all they will be paying for my racing.

It's gonna be hard work to get where I want to get. Thanks for the support.

Hate to say it but sell the Skyline and that will pay for part of a season. Sure there are the fortunate ones out there that have good backers/parents, but then there are those that fron their own money to get the ball rolling and give themselves the headstart.
