Sponsor

Try google and key in RACING SPONSORSHIP.

First of all, racing scene in Malaysia are quite dead. Less than 10 AAM sanctions a year. Only well known experience race drivers might stand a chance to get the cut providing good PR and connection. 90% of sponsorship are funded from Sponsor Sendiri Sdn. Bhd. Even Karamjit singh are lack of sponsorship to run in APRC.

Get yourself establish. Just be involved anything about motorsport. From mechanic to time keeper, technical advisor to team manager, slave etc.. Involve anything! It takes time. Believe me.

Malaysian Super Series? What is that? I couldnt even follow your race series because your superseries website link are dead.

Race coverage? With a tiny 3″x2″ column newspaper? Even Mat Rempits gets their attention with 2-3 full page coverage almost everyday and now a leading political party forms a club for them?

About MSS, expect some 50 spectators at the grandstand on the raceday itself and 95% sponsorship won’t be interested due to its dull coverage and poor turnouts unless the sponsor have their business interest with the team. Sad but true.

Dissapointed motorsport fan.

p/s : Dont expect too much to receive cash from sponsorship.

Good luck!

[quote=Nohad]This experienced by my friend but he is a bit lucky though. My friend approached XXX brewery company for sponsorship and he was sponsored RM20,000/- worth of beer.
He has to look for a pub to take all the beer in order to exchange the beer for cash and he was lucky that a high volume pub bought the beer from him.

Some companies don’t have the policy to sponsor you in cash but in kind.

lucky he found a pub… otherwise he would be drunk silly.

What an odd thing to say.

Anyway, back on topic… the problem with sponsorship in malaysia is there there is little to none. Most of the times, racers will have to beg and scrape for enough money to run a race car. It also helps if you have some good contacts.

The market does not yet understand how motorsport can add any value to a company’s brand or product. In the same breath, the industry has not proven to be a crowd puller.

Fundamentally, not many people get involved in motorsports which is why building the grassroots (eg karting) is so important. Even so, there is no guarantee that the sponsors will come in.

this is a topic that perhaps can go on and on. so i am gonna stop here.
