Michael Christian Interclub Racing
I’m Michael Christian, an aspiring trailblazer with a bold mission: to become the first Black American Formula 1 driver in just four years, starting from grassroots interclub racing in 2025. With a detailed plan to climb from karting to the F1 grid by 2028, I’m driven to break barriers, inspire millions, and bring a fresh American face to a sport exploding in the U.S. (three races in 2025: Miami, Austin, Las Vegas).
starting small but with massive growth potential, offering sponsors a dynamic platform to reach motorsport fans and a global audience as I share this historic journey.
Target Audience
Who Does My Property Appeal To?
My journey to become the first Black American Formula 1 driver—from grassroots interclub racing in 2025 to an F1 seat by 2028—appeals to a diverse, passionate, and growing audience. This spans motorsport enthusiasts, diversity advocates, and young dreamers inspired by a barrier-breaking story. As I progress through interclub, Formula 4 (F4), Formula 3 (F3), and Formula 2 (F2) to F1, my fan base will expand from regional U.S. supporters to a global motorsport community, amplified by my X platform and in-development website Sponsors will tap into an engaged, socially active audience with strong purchasing power and brand loyalty.
Age Range

Other Partners
What Other Brands Do I Have On Board?
As I embark on my mission to become the first Black American Formula 1 driver, starting from grassroots interclub racing in 2025 and targeting an F1 seat by 2028, I’m building a coalition of forward-thinking brands to fuel this historic journey. While my sponsorship roster is in its early stages, I’m targeting partnerships with prestigious, innovative, and socially impactful companies that align with my vision and complement each other—avoiding direct competitors to ensure exclusivity and synergy. These brands will share the spotlight as I progress through interclub, Formula 4 (F4), Formula 3 (F3), and Formula 2 (F2) to F1, gaining exposure to a growing fan base (from 70+ X impressions on @mc__42 now to 50,000+ followers by 2028) and F1’s global audience of 1.5 billion. Below are key names I’m pursuing or envisioning as partners, showcasing the caliber of brands I aim to attract.
Potential and Aspirational Partners
1. Nike
– Why: A global leader in sports innovation and diversity, Nike’s history with athletes like LeBron James and Serena Williams makes it a perfect fit for my trailblazing F1 pursuit. Their “Just Do It” ethos aligns with my relentless drive.
– Benefit to Sponsors: Nike’s premium branding elevates my profile, appealing to my 18-35 ABC1 fan base who value performance gear. No direct sportswear competitors (e.g., Adidas) will be onboard, ensuring exclusivity.
– Example: Nike logo on my racing suit in 2025 interclub races, scaling to F1 apparel by 2028.
2. Red Bull
– Why: Known for backing motorsport talent (e.g., Max Verstappen) and extreme sports, Red Bull’s energy and youth appeal match my high-octane journey and U.S.-focused narrative.
– Benefit to Sponsors: Red Bull’s F1 pedigree and marketing savvy (e.g., special liveries) amplify my visibility, avoiding overlap with rival energy drinks like Monster Energy.
– Example: Red Bull branding on my F4 car in 2026, tied to their “Gives You Wings” campaign.
3. Beats by Dre
– Why: A premium audio brand with deep ties to sports and culture (e.g., LeBron James, NFL partnerships), Beats complements my story as a Black American breaking into F1, appealing to my diverse, young audience.
– Benefit to Sponsors: Beats enhances my digital content on @mc__42 and mc__42.com (in development), with no competing audio brands (e.g., Bose) involved.
– Example: Beats headphones featured in my 2027 F3 training vlogs, reaching 20,000+ followers.
4. Microsoft
– Why: A tech giant with motorsport ties (e.g., McLaren partnerships), Microsoft’s focus on innovation and data aligns with F1’s tech-driven nature and my simulator training push in 2025.
– Benefit to Sponsors: Microsoft’s presence signals cutting-edge credibility, distinct from rivals like Oracle (tied to Red Bull), appealing to tech-savvy fans.
– Example: Microsoft logo on my helmet during 2025 National A races, tied to cloud-powered performance analytics.
5. Coca-Cola
– Why: A global beverage icon with F1 history (e.g., McLaren sponsorship), Coca-Cola’s mass appeal and U.S. roots fit my American F1 story and fan base growth from regional to global.
– Benefit to Sponsors: Coca-Cola gains exclusive soft drink rights, avoiding Pepsi, with sampling at races boosting fan engagement.
– Example: Coca-Cola branding on my F2 car in 2028, with product giveaways at U.S. Grand Prix events.
Why Brands Want to Join
– Association with Elite Partners: Nike, Red Bull, Beats, Microsoft, and Coca-Cola are synonymous with excellence and innovation—new sponsors join a prestigious lineup, enhancing their own brand equity. For example, a luxury watchmaker like TAG Heuer (an F1 partner) would see value in aligning with Nike’s sport prestige and Microsoft’s tech leadership.
– No Competitor Overlap: I’ll ensure category exclusivity—e.g., Red Bull won’t clash with Monster, Beats won’t compete with Bose—maximizing each partner’s spotlight and avoiding diluted impact.
– Growing Platform: My journey offers exposure from grassroots (hundreds of fans in 2025) to F1’s global stage (millions by 2028), with X and Website scaling reach alongside these brands’ marketing muscle.
– Unique Narrative: Partnering with the first Black American F1 driver ties brands to a historic, socially impactful story, distinct from typical motorsport sponsorships, appealing to diverse markets.
Why Avoid Competitors?
Brands like to stand out, not share space with rivals. For instance, if Nike’s onboard, Adidas won’t be—ensuring Nike owns the sportswear category. Similarly, Coca-Cola’s presence excludes Pepsi, giving them sole beverage prominence. This strategy mirrors F1 team practices (e.g., McLaren’s Google vs. Red Bull’s Oracle), keeping partners happy and investments focused.
Current Status
As of March 05, 2025, my partnership roster is in development, much like the website—I’m actively seeking these key names or similar caliber brands to join early. Early partners get prime branding (e.g., on my 2025 car) and a stake in my ascent, avoiding crowded sponsor fields later when I hit F1.
Joining forces with Nike, Red Bull, Beats, Microsoft, and Coca-Cola—or brands of their ilk—puts you in elite company, tied to a motorsport milestone. Let’s build this legacy together.
Investment
How Much Are You Looking For?
I’m seeking a targeted investment of $25,000 to secure my interclub license—the critical first step in my journey to become the first Black American Formula 1 driver. This funding covers the training, testing, and travel required to obtain the license in the UK, starting from my base in the U.S. in 2025. As part of my four-year plan to progress from grassroots interclub racing to an F1 seat by 2028, this initial phase establishes my motorsport credentials, opening the door to competitive racing and further upgrades. Sponsors gain early entry into a historic narrative for a focused, cost-effective commitment.
Breakdown of Investment (Interclub License, 2025)
– Training for Interclub License:
– Cost: $10,000
– Details: Professional coaching and simulator sessions in the U.S. (e.g., 10-15 hours at $100-$150/hour) to prepare for the UK test, conducted March-April 2025. Includes basic karting practice to meet entry-level skills (e.g., SCCA or Rotax Max standards).
– Travel from U.S. to UK:
– Cost: $2,500
– Details: Round-trip economy flight from a major U.S. city (e.g., New York, Chicago, or LA) to London, averaging $1,500-$2,000, plus $500 for local transport (e.g., train to test venue like Silverstone or Brands Hatch), scheduled for April 2025.
– Lodging in the UK:
– Cost: $3,000
– Details: 10 nights at a mid-range hotel near the test site (e.g., £100-£150/night, $130-$200 USD), covering a 1-2 week stay in April 2025 for training, acclimation, and testing. Total reflects exchange rates and modest accommodation.
– Interclub License Test Fee and Completion:
– Cost: $9,500
– Details: UK Motorsport (MSA) ARDS (Association of Racing Drivers Schools) test fee ($500-$700), plus car rental and track time for 1-2 days ($2,000/day), and additional coaching in the UK ($5,000 for 5-7 days at $700-$1,000/day) to ensure I pass the practical and written components in April 2025.
– Total Investment: $25,000
Type of Investment
– Cash Investment: The full $25,000 is requested as a cash investment to cover direct costs—training, travel, lodging, and test fees. This ensures I can travel to the UK, complete the ARDS test, and secure my interclub license by May 2025, launching my racing career without delays.
– Contra or Product/Promotional Support: At this initial stage, I’m not seeking contra (in-kind) or product/promotional support as the primary investment due to the specific cash needs for travel and testing. However, I’d welcome supplementary support—e.g., travel vouchers from an airline or training gear from a brand—if offered alongside cash, reducing costs (e.g., $2,500-$5,000) and earning branding credits.
Why This Investment?
– Specificity: The $25,000 targets only the interclub license phase—U.S. training (March-April), UK travel and lodging (April), and testing to pass (April 2025)—setting the foundation for my motorsport journey.
– Value: Sponsors join at the ground level for a low entry cost, gaining branding on my early racing gear, X promotion via @mc__42 (70+ impressions now, targeting 1,000+ followers by year-end), and a stake in a future F1 star, far below later tiers (e.g., $510k for F4).
– Timing: Funds are needed by March 15, 2025, to book travel, secure training, and complete the UK test by April 30, 2025, aligning with the motorsport season’s start. The process spans 2 months (March-April 2025).
This $25,000 cash investment launches my path to F1, offering sponsors a cost-effective way to back a trailblazer from day one. Let’s start this race together.
Other Info
Key Information About My Opportunity
As I launch my journey to become the first Black American Formula 1 driver with a $25,000 investment for my interclub license in 2025, there are critical details that set this opportunity apart and make it a compelling sponsorship prospect. This isn’t just about funding a license—it’s about backing a historic motorsport milestone from its earliest stage, with a clear path to F1 by 2028. Here’s what you should know beyond the basics of my plan, audience, and benefits.
1. Historic Significance
– No Black American has ever raced in Formula 1 in its 75-year history. My journey starts with this interclub license in the UK—scheduled for April 2025—and aims to break that barrier by 2028. Sponsors get to claim a piece of this first, aligning with a narrative of diversity and inclusion that resonates globally, especially as F1 pushes for broader representation (e.g., Lewis Hamilton’s advocacy and F1’s #WeRaceAsOne initiative).
2. Why the UK for the Interclub License?
– I’ve chosen the UK for its world-class motorsport infrastructure—home to 7 of 10 F1 teams and iconic circuits like Silverstone and Brands Hatch. Passing the ARDS (Association of Racing Drivers Schools) test there ensures a globally recognized interclub license, fast-tracking my eligibility for competitive series (e.g., Rotax Max or SCCA) and future FIA upgrades (National A, International C). This strategic move signals my serious intent to sponsors, offering early exposure in a motorsport hub.
3. Leveraging Digital Momentum
– My X handle, already has 70+ impressions as of March 05, 2025, with posts about my F1 dream sparking interest. My website, (in development), will launch soon as a branded hub for this journey. Sponsors gain immediate digital traction—starting with this UK trip (e.g., “Training in the UK, powered by [Sponsor]”)—and a platform poised to grow from hundreds to 50,000+ followers by F1. This isn’t static branding; it’s a living story you’ll amplify.
4. Scalability Beyond 2025
– This $25,000 investment is the entry point to a four-year, $4.7M plan: interclub (2025), F4 (2026), F3 (2027), F2/F1 (2028). Early sponsors can opt in for the full ride or tiered phases, locking in prime branding now (e.g., on my UK training gear) before bigger players join at higher costs (e.g., $510k for F4). It’s a low-risk, high-reward chance to back a future F1 star from the ground up.
5. Risk and Mitigation
– Risk: Passing the ARDS test requires skill and preparation—failure could delay my timeline.
– Mitigation: The $25,000 covers premium coaching ($10k U.S., $5k UK) and extended UK stay (10 days, $3k lodging) to ensure I ace the test in April 2025. My commitment—outworking everyone—minimizes this risk, backed by simulator prep ($1,500 of the $10k training budget) to master UK track conditions.
6. U.S.-to-Global Bridge
– Starting as an American in the UK ties into F1’s U.S. expansion (three races in 2025, 2.9M viewers per U.S. race in 2023). My story bridges local motorsport fans (e.g., SCCA followers) to F1’s global 1.5 billion audience, offering sponsors a dual-market play—regional buzz in 2025, worldwide reach by 2028.
7. Personal Drive
– I’m not just a racer—I’m a trailblazer with a chip on my shoulder, inspired by icons like LeBron James who defied odds. This isn’t a hobby; it’s a mission. Sponsors invest in my hunger to succeed, not just my license, ensuring every dollar fuels results (e.g., passing the ARDS test, then dominating interclub races).
8. Media Potential
– My UK training trip alone is a story— “American rookie takes on UK motorsport to chase F1 dream.” With @mc__42 and mc__42.com, I’ll document it live, offering sponsors instant media hooks. As I scale, this could draw coverage from outlets like Motorsport.com or ESPN, amplifying your brand without extra cost.
Why This Matters to Me
– Early Advantage: $25,000 now secures your logo on my journey’s first chapter—before bigger budgets crowd in.
– Cultural Impact: You’re not just funding a test; you’re backing a movement, appealing to diverse, young fans (18-35, ABC1) who value purpose (70% of Gen Z, per 2023 Deloitte).
– Proof of Concept: Passing the interclub test by April 30, 2025, proves my viability, de-risking future investments as I chase F1.
This is more than a license—it’s the spark of a motorsport revolution. Join me now, and let’s make history together.
