Sponsorship in high-level British Motorsport

After watching a Formula 1 race at 8 years old I realised that was where I wanted to be, in the cockpit of one of those cars and racing in the fastest, most glamorous and prestigious racing series on the planet. I became infused in the world of motorsport and a passion became an obsession. Only months later, I went to my local kart circuit and took part in my very first race.

I learnt a lot in that time and from that point onwards I have only had a desire to win.

9 years later I have won and competed in many national karting championships across the UK with a title, over 15 race wins and 40 podiums to my name so far.

Although a lot has changed in that time I still retain the same passion and obsession of reaching my all time goal of becoming Formula 1 World Champion! I am constantly on the lookout for new opportunities that will enable me to progress into the higher categories of motorsport.

My notable achievements include winning the 2008 Mercedes-Benz inkart championship, making it to the finals of the 2009 National Karting championship and finishing within the top 3 in every karting championship I have competed in over the last 4 years.

This season I made my debut in high-level national karting in the Easykart UK championship, arguably the most competitive karting series in the UK.

Despite being on a modest budget, doing very little testing, having not raced on a single circuit on the calendar and being one of the youngest drivers on the grid I have started to already make rapid progress through the field!

I am completely determined, committed and utterly dedicated to my passion for motorsport, I never give up and I always push 110% every time I am out on track.  I am highly motivated by a desire to win, and I strive to achieve perfection through making sure I get every last ounce of performance out the equipment I have.

I work well under pressure and can quickly adapt to different track conditions. I work effectively both individually and as a team. I am motivated by a desire to be the best, I am here to win and I will only be satisfied with nothing less than the best results.

Squares:

Dependant on the package you have chosen you will have been allocated with a square of a certain area. In this square you can put whatever you want in there whether it’s a special message, or a picture of your choice.

These squares will be visible on my racesuit throughout the season.

Access to me to promote your company and product:

This means I can work alongside your company to help bring you closer to your clients – through using multimedia such as my website, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube sites and various other media (TV, newspapers, magazines etc) to promote your business I can also do any promotional filming, advertisement campaigns and photo-shoots at race meetings and even undertake keynotes or presentations for your company at corporate events.

 

Promotional use of kart at corporate events:

On a non-race date my kart shall be available for display at corporate events – this enables everyone to have the chance to get up close and see how it all works!

The kart will have my unique custom racing livery on display so your company logos and colour scheme are clearly visible.
