Cultivating a Fan Base

Cultivating a fan base is just part of this week’s Business of Being a Race Driver. I also have two sponsorship-related webinars you can attend, the cost of racing Eurocup-3 and more great advice from the Motorsport Prospects archives.

It’s all here in this week’s edition of The Business of Being a Race Driver.

Eurocup-3 is quietly shaking up the Formula Regional market, but exactly how successful has the series been since its inauguration? Feeder does an in-depth look at the series including details on budget requirements.

“Eurocup-3 was received by some as a Spanish version of England’s GB3 Championship, and in some ways, it is. Both series have visits scheduled to international circuits, support from to a lower series and plans to move up drivers within a national ladder.”
