Sponsorship

A range of sponsorship opportunities still available

Sponsoring the British Steam Car Team offers huge potential to maximise your exposure and communicate directly with an audience worldwide. All sponsorship opportunities are tailored to meet your budget. A limited number of on-car branding opportunities still available. Providing logistical assistance, products and services will also be considered.

The purpose of the project (aside from setting a New World Record) is to show that it is possible to combine a wealth of Victorian Steam expertise with state-of-the art design and engineering skills to produce an environmentally-sound speed record vehicle.

The goal is to build one vehicle, together with two engines. The second engine, held in reserve for potential breakdown during a speed run, will be sectioned after setting the new record.

Anticipated costs for the entire project have been forecast at over £650,000.

Some of this cost will be mitigated by donations of components and technical expertise drawn from British Industry, but the project will require some evidence of financial support to facilitate the commencement of vehicle build.

It has been confirmed that the project will be a subject of a documentary filmed by the BBC and James May, Discovery Channel Europe and Discovery Channel Canada.

We are being inundated with media enquiries from UK, Croatia, Latvia, Russia, USA, New Zealand and Australia.

Our pro-active media centre will be distributing all the teams’ latest news as it happens.

Promotional opportunities for potential sponsors will be considerable.
