We are offering an excellent sponsorship opportunity to
sponsor a very rare one-of-a-kind racecar. Racing
Merchandise Inc. is currently seeking sponsors for the Pikes
Peak Hill Climb in the unlimited class in our attempt to
break the record to be the fastest time to the top of Pikes
Peak and to possibly attend other highly visible motorsports
or racing events.
As you may know the Pikes Peak Hill Climb event is one of
the most prestigious hill climb racing series in the world.
In addition to attracting fans with excellent demographics,
the event generates significant media coverage and sponsor
visibility. Clearly participation in this Pikes Peak Hill
Climb event and other Motorsports events can generate visibility
for sponsors, but why should you consider Racing Merchandise
effort?
The Racing Merchandise Pikes Peak project racecar started
as a Ford RS 200, an all-wheel drive car that has an impressive
record on the European rally circuit. A private development
project was undertaken and represents the first time a homologated
Group B car has run IMSA in the GTO class and is also quite
capable of running at the prestigious Pikes Peak Hill Climb
event making this car extremely newsworthy. The one-of-a-kind
development of the IMSA car was the fulfillment of John
Taylor and John Wheeler, utilizing their visions and talent,
the team redesigned this RS 200 from the ground up. The
car underwent extensive testing at Ford’s facility
in Great Britain and at several tracks in the United States
under the Marco Polo Motorsports banner that has been proven
to be very competitive.
Ford Motorsports in Great Britain were very excited about
the IMSA program and as part of the agreement with them
in the early stages Marco Polo Motorsports had the technical
support and fabrication expertise of that division. Our
innovative four-wheel drive system gives us an edge in handling
and traction. Aerodynamically our car has designed and tested
as a racing vehicle using wind tunnel data and using Kevlar
body components to make this car light and durable at 1650
pounds. The turbo charged Cosworth racing engine is presently
at 800hp, for IMSA where economy was as much a factor as
speed as well, we then backed off the power to 750 hp for
racing. For the 2006 Pikes Peak Hill Climb event in the
unlimited class we will increase the horsepower of the engine
while remaining reliable throughout the race. The RS 200
GTO will be setup to challenge the current world record
at (10:04) that is held by an unlimited class Toyota Celica
that was driven by Rod Millen.
The task of Racing Merchandise is three-fold:
1. Win the unlimited class at Pikes Peak Hill Climb event.
2. To break the current Pikes Peak world record.
3. To achieve sponsors promotional objectives.
We recognize the importance of cost / benefits ratios, image
building and risk management in the corporate sponsorship
arena. With this in mind Racing Merchandise pledges to continually
work to seek new opportunities to translate to the sponsor’s
bottom line. Racing Merchandise sponsorship packages are
tailored to meet a sponsor’s needs. One or multiple
packages are available, and Racing Merchandise will work
with sponsors to tailor packages to meet their specific
requirements.
Some of the elements of our sponsor programs can include
the following:
- Company or product advertising through the use of the
RS 200 as “billboard”
- Significant company or product media exposure through
an association with an innovative team.
- Corporate entertainment opportunities at Racing Merchandise
on events hospitality tent or services.
- Special sales promotions tied to the company’s involvements
with the racecar.
- Special off-season displays of the RS 200 GTO at company
functions, trade shows and other company related events.
- Media exposures through Web sites like motorsportsemployment.com
and also through motorsportsblog.com, which will be live
in the near future and both sites are divisions of Racing
Merchandise.
You may be interested in the media attention we are also
involved with Make-A-Wish Foundation. This charity fulfills
wishes for children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 18 who
confront life-threatening medical conditions.
Racing Merchandise Inc. welcomes the opportunity in representing
you as being part of a winning team that can promote the
group efforts and sponsors.
Sincerely,
Stefan Pagnani
