    Motorsport sponsorship

    Hi Guys,

    I don't know if any of you have heard of a company called Formula Woman, basically they aim to help get more women into motorsport. Every year they organise a competition where a group of women will be selected to race in what is called the Formula Woman Championship. This year about 2000 women entered and I am one of the talented (or very lucky?) 16 to be selected to race. Woohoo! We will be racing Caterhams with 1.6 K series Rover engines, they will be running on E85 biofuel and it is the only championship in the country which is solely for women! There are 8 races run over 4 weekends at Pembrey (Wales), Snetterton, Silverstone and Brands Hatch.
    But as I'm sure most of you are very aware motorsport is a very expensive thing and unfortunately Formula Woman does not have the funds for us all to race for free so I therefore have to find sponsorship to fund my race. This championship will be televised on Sky Motors TV and I have already generated a lot of newspaper and radio coverage with more on the way, as you can see any potential sponsors would benefit a great deal.
    So if any of you are are involved with a company that may be interested in getting involved in motorsport this way, or knows someone else that is please PM me and I can give you more information on whats involved. The amount I'd be interested in is not necessarily huge as every little helps. Also if you do want to learn more about the competition you can visit http://www.formulawoman.com or my website http://www.joannewaddington.co.uk or you could even come have a chat with me at the French Car Show on Sunday!

    Cheers!
