Leo Garner Racing
Hello! My name is Leo Garner, I’m 14 years old and from Stourbridge in the West Midlands. I’m contacting your company, not for money, etc but for simply your word on whether or not you would be willing to partner/sponsor me in the near future.
Who am I? I’m a young, determined teen who is set on making his dreams become a reality. I have a passion for motorsport and have done since I first discovered cars. As I’m sure you are aware it is not the most accessible career path and I never have had the opportunities or backing to begin racing at a younger age like many of the other racers out there. (Many start <5).
My childhood has not been the smoothest sailing but I am dedicated to turning it around. My goal is Formula 1, but you obviously can’t start there so that’s why I’m going to be participating in the Ginetta Junior Scholarship (17-19th October). This is my only chance at making it into motorsport and if I was to win it would grant me entry into the 2026 Ginetta Junior Championship (which is open for 14-17 year olds), use of a car, an amazing team, consumables for the season, etc. You can read more about it here: https://www.ginetta.com/js/.
I have been training meticulously physically and mentally in order to win and I’m prepared to give all it takes. Since I haven’t been able to do karting as a kid I have started more recently in sim racing. This is a similar approach to Jude Peters who skipped karting straight into simulator racing before winning the scholarship in 2023. (He is now in a feeder series to Le Mans Endurance racing).
With backing from your company I would have a much higher chance of winning and making it big into racing as one of the things they favour is if the driver in question is backed by great brands like yours. As I said earlier, I don’t want your money or anything like that yet simply for you to confirm whether or not you would be willing to partner with me.
By agreeing to sponsor me for the 2026 championship if I was able to win the scholarship, You would open a door to massive amounts of people and future customers from the fans to the racing teams and drivers at the heart of motorsport. As of now I only want your word on whether or not a future partnership would be possible with your brand but if I won the scholarship while being able to say i have you lined up ready to sponsor me it would not only enhance my chance of being able to race in the championship for 2026 but also greatly benefit your brand.
Why should you support me? I am dedicated to making a life in motorsport and just as I will at Ginetta, I work extremely hard and give my all to everything I do from sim racing to school. Your branding would be featured in many ways. For example social media posts not only on my socials but also on Ginetta’s socials which have 60,000+ combined followers, my championship race suit, gloves, helmet, etc, my car would also feature your branding and would appear all over the internet.
Also since Ginetta holds an international race during the championship season, you have the opportunity to spread your brand further around the world. (This year’s international race was held in the Netherlands at Zandvoort). And all of that is only from Ginetta. Alongside your backing I have the opportunity to make it further into Formula 4, 3 ,2 or go down the endurance racing route like Le Mans 24hr. Overall, I’m sure that while this future prospect of a sponsorship between us would massively benefit me it would certainly benefit your company greatly.
If you have any questions you would like to ask or if you would like some more information, please do not hesitate to contact me
