Thomas Knox is seeking sponsorship to allow him to compete nationally in the Rotax UKC & British championships in 2024 and to extensively test over the winter period in preparation for the 2024 session.
Thomas Knox has been karting since the age of 8 and in 2022, in his 1st year of competitive racing, finished 3rd in his club class championship. Highlights included podium finishes in every race entered as well as being awarded driver of the day for most improved driver over the year. In 2023 Thomas joined a local kart race team that has a proven track record of Scottish & National champions and competed in the Scottish Super Series. The 1st half of the session Thomas competed as a novice and finished 1st & 2nd in class. In the second half of the session, no longer classified as a novice, finished in the top 10 in every race entered. At the end of the session Thomas finished 12th in the Scottish Championship out of a field of 38. TK Racing is looking to build a social media following and work to be an ambassador to promote sponsors and young talent.
Target Audience
All types of organisations looking to support, promote and help develop young talent in a motorsport environment. TK Racing is keen to build an excellent sponsor relationship with a view to establishing a long-term partner that can support and mentor him through his motorsport journey.
Key Dates and Timings
The 2024 race season runs between March & September. To prepare for the 2024 season an intensive testing period over the winter will be undertaken. This gives sponsors a full year publicity through practice & race events and social media coverage.
Specific Opportunity Details
Subject to sponsorship levels, Thomas plans to race a full 2024 race season in a mix of Scottish Super Series, local club races, UKC & British Championship rounds. TK Racing has started to build a social media following via Facebook, Tik Tok & Instagram with the intention of posting regular practice and race posts and video promoting and supporting sponsors. Working with our sponsors TK Racing can help promote specific sponsors promotions and products to suit.
Features and Benefits
TK Racing can bring brand publicity and awareness through sponsorship logos on the kart, trailer and clothing as well as promoting your organisation at racetracks, podium presentations and via social media. Specific product advertising can also be carried out at racetracks and social media advertising.
Other Partners
TK Racing have joined the Demon Tweeks sponsorship scheme for the 2023 season which offers a small discount on kart parts but we are looking to expand our sponsorship pool of national and local organisations to assist with race team fees, driver coaching and kart improvement and maintenance costs.
Investment
Happy to start and build a long-term partnership at any level of financial or product support.
