I have been involved in a number of sponsorship deals over the years and I have to endorse what Dave [QOT] has said. Every single sponsorship deal that I know of at this level has come about via contacts/connections - usually family/friends.

My advice would as follows :

o Do you have any family members who own or have budgetary decision making power in a business ?

o Do you have any family members who spend large amounts with somebody who owns or has budgetary decision making power in a business ?

o Do you have connections with somebody who knows somebody etc... that already sponsors a car/kart ?

o Do you know anyone in the paddock who already has a wealthy benefactor ? Have you approached them about considering offering you a small amount of money... you could offer them driver coaching etc... ? Its a way to crank a door open.

o Have you approached the trade ? Your kart dealer etc... Could they offer you discounted or even free parts ?

Leverage your contacts and your contacts' contacts. That will give you a far greater chance of securing something.
