The Business of Racing

What is this racing business? At its core, the business of racing is a race team providing the most cost effective advertising and marketing program available to help businesses achieve greater customer awareness, demand and loyalty for their product or services leading to increased profits.

By understanding that basic concept you can develop an awesome motorsports marketing program that will have a potential sponsor saying, "Wow, what an excellent way to increase our bottom line!" instead of "Here's another race team looking for a handout."

Your race team is in essence a marketing and advertising company, and your sponsor is the client. The race team gets paid to deliver a service for the client (sponsor). It just so happens that in providing that marketing, advertising and promotional service, you get to go racing as part of the process. What a cool deal!

The needs of a business are pretty basic - make a profit by delivering its products or services to an expanding, loyal customer base. Very few, if any, other marketing and advertising approaches do this as effectively as motorsports marketing.
