Fast Track To Sponsorship: free three-lesson training for racers

You know that feeling on a Saturday night in the paddock. Lying in the back of the van, doing the sums. Tyres for tomorrow. Fuel home. The entry for the next round.

And underneath all of it, the question you don't say out loud.

How long can I keep doing this?

A closed blank notebook, pen, plain black gloves and a red fuel can on a dark workshop counter, with two unmarked slick tyres behind.

You've probably tried. The emails. The mate of a mate. The crowdfunding page. The proposal that went nowhere.

If money is the thing between you and the next level, that isn't a failing. You picked an expensive sport. Everybody in it hits the same wall. What matters is what you do when you hit it.

Lesson 1: The Situation

How sponsorship goes wrong for most people, and why every one of those routes ends without you ever meeting the person who decides. About seven minutes.

Lesson 2: Myths and Motivation

Five things everyone in the paddock believes about sponsors, taken apart one at a time. Your lap time is not the product. About thirteen minutes.

Lesson 3: You Are The Product

The shift that turns sponsorship from a favour into a transaction. You stop being the queue and become the baker. About eight minutes.

Each lesson ends with one thing to do. Not homework. A rep. Five minutes. By the end of Lesson 3 you'll have something real in your hands, not just notes.

Adam McLean. He races at the Isle of Man TT. He set out to raise ten thousand. When we spoke he was two hundred pounds short of fourteen, with people still to confirm, and he had already moved his own goal up to fifteen. The same system. He simply made it work.

Sam Wilford. He generated €34,000 to move to Spain, live and train with professional racers, while competing in the European Moto2 Championship.

Who it's for

You race bikes, cars or karts, or you're the mum or dad stood by the van. You're paying for most of it yourself, and you know there's another level there if the money was.

Who it's not for

If you want someone to find you a sponsor while you wait, this isn't it. It's three short lessons of doing, not watching.

What happens when you click

Lesson 1 comes straight to your inbox. Watch it, do the five-minute rep, and Lesson 2 opens as soon as you've finished. Lesson 3 the same. You've got three days from sign-up to finish all three. After that it closes.

Is there a catch?

There's no price on this page, and none in Lesson 1 or Lesson 2. At the end of Lesson 3 I'll show you the tool the reps run in. Whether you use it is up to you.

The honest guarantee

If Lesson 1 doesn't change how you see sponsorship, don't open Lesson 2. You've lost seven minutes.

An empty British parkland circuit grid at dawn, with numbered starting slots and no people in sight.

You know you can race at another level. You just can't fund the step.
