Race Funded - How to Get Sponsored

Most motorsport sponsorship advice is comforting nonsense.

This book isn’t.

Race Funded explains how motorsport actually gets paid for, why most sponsorship advice fails, and why talent, lap times, and effort are almost irrelevant to the people writing cheques.

Sponsors are not patrons.

They are not fans.

They are not charities.

They are buyers.

For decades drivers have been told the same story: build a media pack, send emails, promise exposure, and hope someone notices. It sounds sensible. It rarely works.

This book dismantles that mythology and replaces it with the commercial reality of how sponsorship decisions are actually made.

Inside you’ll learn:

Why most drivers will never be sponsored, regardless of ability
What sponsors really mean when they say “exposure”
Why decks, logos, and begging emails fail
How motorsport funding behaves more like employment than support
What changes when you stop thinking like a driver and start thinking like a business

There are no templates.

No fake optimism.

No social-media-guru nonsense.

Just the mechanics of how money moves into motorsport, written plainly by someone who has spent more than a decade working with teams, drivers and brands on both sides of the sponsorship table.

If you want motivation, there are plenty of books for that.

If you want to understand why sponsorship really works — and why it usually doesn’t — this is the book.
