MotorSport Marketing Opportunities
Why become a sponsor?
Motorsport has always been associated with glamour, leading-edge technology, and engineering excellence. This is an ideal image to represent the quality of your products and services.Sponsoring a racing car is a serious investment and I want to help make it a worthwhile, one for your company. I am just as serious about promoting your company as I am about my racing. But at the same time I do not forget the main reason why we are attracted to motor racing - the excitement of a grid full of horse power and the legendary words “Gentlemen Start Your Engines!!”

Why motorsport marketing makes good business sense

Does motor racing influence consumers?
You bet it does! These fans are loyal, in fact three out of four fans say they consciously purchase products involved with racing. Market research backs this up, showing that sponsored products consistently receive higher usage.With a growing market in which to advertise, the already committed fan base that awaits you just keeps getting bigger and better. When you sponsor James Burke , fans will remember the names that made their favorite sport possible. They will support your product because you support racing.
