Possible for the promoter of the series, ask race teams to quote race drive package deals. for each round and for the whole series stuff like that.
Its a new trend to race overseas these days..
This worked very well for Formula BMW Asia this year - they had all teams agree to a price and make it public. Of course the price was basic not including testing etc. but it increased driver inquiries to the race series by at least 100%.
Would be a great idea for teams to make their basic arrive-and-drive race deal package prices public, always with negotiation possible depending on what the driver requires etc. etc.
For example for Malaysian teams they could state:
Quote:
Rotax Mojo Asia Challenge or Malaysian Rotax Max Challenge arrive-and-drive packages available at RM4,000* per round which includes:- Use of good condition 2007 ****-brand kart model ******.
- Use of Rotax Max Engine P6 model, year 2006 - recently rebuilt ready to win.
- 1 set new dry tyres + 1 set used tyres for friday practice + sat/sun free
practice. Additional tyres such as wets or extra dry tyres paid by driver. - Price includes friday practice track fees mechanic etc.
- All fuel, oil, chain lube etc. supplied by the team.
- 1 mechanic dedicated to you and your kart.
- You will be run from the official team awning and receive setup help from team engineers.
- Lunch and drinks provided at the track for the driver+1 guest.
- All damages paid by driver, returnable deposit of RM1,000 required for damage.
- Additional practice days available at additional cost (for example thursday before the event).
- Unipro or Alfano data-logging system available at RM250 per round, or you can bring your own system.
- Entry fee to be paid by driver.
- Drivers to pay for their own accomodation and travel however we can provide assistance and advice in getting the best deals.
- Drivers should have their own suit, shoes, gloves, helmet etc.
- Drivers must have a valid racing licence.
*Please note the above price package is for Malaysia Rotax Max Challenge rounds or Asia Max Challenge rounds held in Sepang circuit only for the Junior or Senior category. Additional costs apply for Kota Bharu round or overseas events. Drivers are encouraged to contact us at
kartshopsemail@address.com if they want a final quote on a customized package or are interested in a full-season or multi-round deal.
It would be great if all kart shops that are interested in providing arrive-and-drive packages like this could come up with basic packages like the above.
This is especially attractive for Malaysian kart companies because all the Malaysian rounds are zone-inscribed which means they should be able to attract overseas competitors.
