WIN A FULL RACE TEAM SPONSORSHIP — OVER $2,000 IN VALUE
One grassroots driver or race team will win the full RedBug treatment: a custom race car graphics and decal package, team apparel, hats, a large pit banner, and a professionally designed driver or race team webpage.
The Full RedBug Racing Sponsorship Package
This is more than a logo on a car. We are giving one team a complete visual package built to make them look like a serious racing operation on the track, in the pits, and online.
Custom Race Car Graphics & Decal Package
A custom race car graphics and decal package designed specifically for the winning car, including primary graphics, race numbers, driver identification, sponsor placement, and associated decals. This prize does not include a full vehicle wrap unless specifically agreed upon by RedBug Studios. Installation requirements will be determined based on the winning vehicle and final design.
Team Apparel
10 custom team shirts plus 10 custom hats so the driver, crew, family, and team can show up looking unified.
Pit + Online Presence
One large custom pit banner plus a professionally designed driver or race team webpage that gives fans and sponsors a place to follow the team.
OVER $2,000 IN VALUE. ONE WINNING TEAM.
The winner will also be featured through RedBug Studios as we document the design, production, build, and final race car reveal.
