| SKA/PL001 |  MATTY TIPPING RACING Matty Tipping competed in two Super 1 Championships, one of which was Junior Rotax and the other JICA. In the first season he raced for Ian Hawkins, who owned Team Maranello UK at the time. He had only been on the track for eighteen months at this point. Ian set out a financial agreement within Matty's dad's budget and they set out to do what they could. The first season was tough for Matty after only racing in a number of club races. But he did very well for a first timer in the championship and got noticed dramatically by the fourth round at PFI. In his second season he raced for BRM UK in JICA. Rob Dodds who was the owner at the time also secured a financial agreement for them within their budget. In the first round they did very well, keeping inside the top ten in the final. As the season went on Matty's passion for winning increased, along with his talent. He travelled to Brescia to the BRM factory, also testing at Lonato, Lake Garda. Rob was happy with Matty's progression and asked his dad if he would like to race at the European qualifiers in Portugal. Matty found Portugal hard work as he was still only in JICA and he was scraping 6ft tall. As the rubber built up over the weekend they struggled massively but as a sportsman he took it as an experience. After two DNFs he finished 33rd overall in the final. He also raced at Genk in Belgium for Stars Of Tomorrow. Here he did very well, being one of the fastest on the first test day but still struggling with set up over the weekend. He qualified third in one session but was beaten by a blown motor in the next. After a bad round 5 at Clay Pigeon he finished 14th overall in the Super 1 Championship. Matty is looking to race in a saloon championship (i.e Clio or Seat Cupra) and to test in single seaters. • "Matty has a bundle of potential" - Phil Charles, Renault F1 engineer • "Matty can pull off moves even Ben Hanley (GP2 driver) wouldn't even think of" - Ian Hawkins, previously Team Maranello UK • "He has learnt in one session what usually takes six ... he has a very, very highly developed spatial awareness ... in all my time in coaching I have seen maybe two or three drivers that have given me goosebumps and Matty definitely is one of them" - Terrence Dove of Karting1.co.uk and Evenflow Driver Coaching • "There is something uncanny about his track positioning when he's in traffic" - Steve Holmes, Data Analyser and Mechanic.

| SKA/0001 | CLUB
100 Club 100 is one of the most competitive forms of karting in Europe today, say the organisers, with major venues nationwide. As well as attracting large crowds, the competitors themselves are wealthy, young and have a large disposable income. Most of the drivers are already signed up to sponsorship deals with the likes of sports car manufacturers, insurance companies, clothing retailers, etc. but an opportunity exists for a team sponsor in the endurance, sprint and elite championships. Contact: Dave Cottrell. Address: 9 Godric Square, Woodston, Peterborough PE2 7JJ. Tel.: 01733 237714. Fax: 01733 370299. E-mail: yesteryear@barclays.net. link to website

| SKA/002 | CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP KART RACING Sponsorship of this Club Championship Kart Racing show, to be screened on Motors TV UK (via Sky Television) promises to elevate its sponsor to new heights of success, by harnessing the power of TV to provide mass coverage for the company's brand and products. This one hour programme of highlights will be repeated four or five times a month, representing a total of five or six hours of TV exposure for the sponsoring company. With the cut and thrust of interviews and podium trophy presentations, interest will be maintained until the end of the season when the ultimate champions will be crowned. All in all, this will make fantastic TV - and is the complete package, as effective as any company could need to stimulate consumer interest and generate an increase in sales. The sponsor's company will be introduced as the sponsor at the start of the programme; again into and out of commercial breaks; and also at the end of the programme. Opportunities include • Major sponsorship • Secondary sponsorship • Associate sponsorship • Advertising • Hospitality - the sponsor can enjoy free buffet style food to entertain clients or reward employees • Large 12ft x 3ft signage showing the sponsor's company name and logo, all in prime locations around the circuit (in camera shot) • Podium backdrop advertising showing the sponsor's company name and logo (in camera shot) • Full page programme advertising • Mention in any press/media attention which is generated by the championship • Club websites • The sponsor's company will receive full trophy sponsorship. "The advertising potential is endless", say the organisers. Contact: Steve Seal. Tel.: 07955 575864. E-mail: brad991@live.co.uk.

| SKA/0002 | RICHARDSON RACING Andy and Louise Richardson are now in their third full season of national level karting, competing in the National Kart Racing Association Mobil Super 1 Championship. Their potential was noticed early in their racing careers (in her inaugural year, Karting magazine commented that Louise was 'one to watch for the future') and, under the tutelage of one of the top UK teams - Velocity Motorsport - they have developed into two of the top drivers in the country. However, remaining competitive at this level requires considerable dedication, hard work and, not least of all for their parents, funding. On the plus side, the marketing opportunities are staggering for this largely unsponsored category of motorsport, with some of the tracks offering wonderful corporate conference and entertainment facilities. "So if you would like to make the most of some marvellous marketing opportunities and support two top drivers, for a relatively modest outlay, please contact us". Contact: Gwyn Richardson. Address: 8 Cumberland Gardens, Castle Bytham, Gramtham, Lincs. NG33 4SQ. Tel.: 01780 410759. Fax: 01780 410759. E-mail: jgr@ricson.freeserve.co.uk.
