Hi ,
Looking for the perfect sponsor? This week's Motorsport Prospects newsletter offers valuable tips to help you in your search. You'll also discover amazing race cars available for purchase in the Marketplace, assess your drive to succeed, and learn about an exciting fundraiser you can join.
Do You Have The Motivation to Succeed?
Do you have the motivation to succeed? That is the question you need to answer after reading and watching last week’s edition of the Driver Development Roundup. I also have details on how F1 teams use data to scout drivers, a free webinar you can attend and a new program providing mentorship opportunities to disabled people in the world of motorsport. Click here to read all the details.
In December, I had a conversation with Emanuele Gerbino, a director at VPG Sim, a UK manufacturer of sim steering wheels. He discussed their new Ford Officially Licensed Mustang GT3 Wheel and mentioned their collaboration with Novus Sim Racing. This prompted me to reach out to Tara Brus from Novus to learn more about the services they provide for both sim and real-world racers. Click here to read our conversation.
Identifying an ideal sponsor is just some of the advice featured in last week’s Business of Being a Race Driver. I also had sponsorship strategies for North American racers in Europe and much more. Click here to read how to identify the ideal sponsor.

Inside Max Verstappen’s Sim Racing Plans
last week I detailed Max Verstappen’s sim racing plans as he works to bring sim racers into real-world motorsport. In addition to that, last week's edition of the Sim Racing Roundup looked at Sebastian Job’s journey from sim racing to the real thing, how sim racing and virtual testing are new and exciting career paths for neurodiverse talents and why Lewis Hamilton uses an F1 simulator only sparingly.

Can F1 return to V10 engines? Well it depends, and in last week’s Sustainable Motorsport Roundup I look at the possibilities of whether it may happen. Or not. Click here to read what I and others had to say.
