Participate in the Silent Auction for significant pieces of the The
Racer's Group Porsche GT3-RS from this years Le Mans effort....
Do you want to become part of the action and part of the support?
The Racer's Group is assembling a variety of sponsorship packages to
help fund the effort for defending our title at this year's 24 Hours
of Le Mans. From a $100 pledge, $500 "goodie bag" to a comprehensive
corporate sponsorship program, many of you will find this opportunity
unusually unique. We're seeking funding ranging from personal
contributions to corporate sponsorships for our Le Mans effort, and
for those contributions, we'll reward our patrons with benefits,
memorabilia and experiences unobtainable anywhere else. We want this
to work both ways and be such a success that everyone will tell their
friends and want to be involved next year.

Monster Gift Pack. Monster Cable
is the world's leading manufacturer of high performance cables that
connect audio/video components for home, car and professional use as
well as computers and computer games. Monster is a tremendous
supporter of TRG, and is donating money and gift packs to the Le
Mans effort. Depending on the Sponsor level, gifts range from a key
chain
and limited edition Monster t-shirts - up through
the Monster Gift Pack which includes CDs, jackets, and accessory bags.
Adobe Road Winery, founded in
1997 by wine-making friends Kevin Buckler and Ron Herrerias,
produces fine wines from its base in Sonoma, California. The wine is
made in true craftsman style, as Alexander Valley grapes are
harvested by hand, fermented in small open-top bins, punched down
tree times daily, lightly pressed in an old-world basket press and
then aged in the finest French and American oak barrels for over 30
months. There is precious little left of the Winery's first
commercial vintage, a 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon, and what's left has
been designated for auction to help support The Racer's Group's Le
Mans effort.
Graphics on car for ALMS season. For the 2003 ALMS
season, your company will place its graphics prominently on the lead
#66 car, driven by Kevin Buckler and Cort Wagner, and the #67 and 68
cars will bear a smaller presence. Kevin and Cort will contend for
the championship this season, and that status means that your
company will have its flag held high in one of the major racing
series in the world. Our sponsors Monster Cable, and Rennlist will
go down in history as the title sponsors on the car that won the
2003 24 Hours of Daytona, and your company has a similar opportunity
as The Racer's Group goes to contend for the ALMS and Le Mans
championships this racing season.
Official Racer's Group t-shirts,
vests, jackets and hats. The Racer's Group rainjackets are
black/blue/yellow, and feature hoods, removable liners and custom
embroidery, including The Racer's Group and Porsche logos. The
shirts, hats & vests are very colorful and a collectible.
Video documentary. The Racer's
Group hired Push Films, of Toronto, Ont., to produce a feature
length documentary about the team's experience at the 2003 24 Hours
of Daytona. The documentary is in post-production currently, but the
early results are stunning. The Racer's Group has hired the company
to travel with the team to France to shoot a follow-up documentary,
as well as shoot footage featuring the companies and individuals
supporting the team. Push Films will edit together 8-12 minute
features about the involvement of each company that works with The
Racer's Group, to be used for promotions, mementos, or corporate
image. These films are completely customizable for your individual
needs, and make for tremendous marketing materials.
Hot pit credentials are the most sought after tickets
at Le Mans. For most everyone, access to the hot pits at Le Mans is
basically unobtainable. They grant unprecedented access to the hot
pits during the race, and afford their recipients the closest,
team-level access that they can get.
Porsche Sport book,
photographed and authored by Porsche factory photographer Ulli
Upietz, featuring photojournalism from all 2002 races where Porsches
ran. This beautiful coffee-table book features a limited edition
