i really want to get my new mazdaspeed3 sponsored...what do you have to do to get one?
any idea?
 
Compete in scantioned, if not high-profile, racing events and convince parts manufacturers that you are a good enough showcase for their advertising. They won't want their name on the guy continually coming in last.
 
forget anything related to racing or performance, work the system. everyone's trying to get everyone else's sponsorship.

instead, try this.... "tampax, the official tampon of mazdaspeed3." you'll have your car up to the nurburgring running in the 7 minute range in no time

Spend more money than you will ever get back from said Sponsors.
Not to mention...what are you talking about anyway...Racing..or showing?
 
You have to make your car stand out from most other cars
I used to be on a team and we used to show in HIN chicago
one of the members dropped a lot of money into his S2000 and came in 3rd at best of show. He had a bunch of sponsors because of the amount of money he put into his car. and then another member only put 5k into a candy apple red paint job to his RSX and got sponsored I think by Valvoline, he got free oil and cleaning supplies.

Make your car stand out, or do well at the track
but your not going to get sponsored just by driving around the city
or even i think you can send photos of your car to companies and see if you can get a sponsorship.
 
alright thanks guys, i like the tampon idea!! haha too bad im a guy

don't count yourself out... lol.

but yeah, as others have said you've basically got to pick show or go and then stand out in one of those areas... go needs skill and your money for parts, show tends to mean that you need to be anal-retentive/willing to not drive your car alot and put money into making it stand out.

you have to put together a presentation and focus on why you're a good investment (because to a sponsor that's all you are) as opposed to the other million imports out there... lol sponsorship proves the old adage true: "Ain't s*** for free"
 
You could try to call Massengale and see what they say....Then you could have a slogan like "Massengale,The only douche recommended by mazdaspeed 3 owners"
 
On a side note the massengales lived 2 houses down from us when we lived in detroit years ago...Yes that is there last name.
 
got to win some shows to get sponsored. Worked for me on 4 cars. and its HARD to win shows in CA due to all the rich ass ******* daddy's boys whose daddy's pay for everything
 
oh yeah i bet that it is really hard to win shows... but there arent too many shows in my area which really sucks
