Sponsorship

Although the Elise Trophy is run by a team of volunteers, who are all members of the non profit track day club Lotus on Track, we are looking for a number of series sponsors to help cover the running costs of this exciting new race series.

We are delighted that Yokohama have agreed to extend their support for the series and will again be the official tyre sponsor in 2008.
Intercept IT one of the UK's leading IT solution providers have stepped up their welcome support for 2007 and will now be the series main sponsor with prime position on all windscreens.

Additional sponsors

We have a number of additional sponsorship slots available to companies who wish to support the series and its drivers. We can tailor a package around specific requirements but will be looking at what benefit each sponsor can also add to the series as the best interests of the drivers are our priority.

An idea of what we have to offer

  • Individual round sponsorship. Would you like to sponsor your local round - with a fixed price of just £1,000 why not promote your company in your local area? We still have 2 rounds available for 2008 at Oulton Park, and Cadwell Park. Why not join Castle Lotus, Advance Lighting, Still, Maidstone Sports cars, Lambogenie and many others why not just supporting the Elise Trophy but providing your guests with a great day out.
  • Series sponsorship - Starting at just £2,500 this gives you the opportunity to promote your company throughout the UK and Europe. All entered cars will carry the full series livery which includes - 2 x stickers on all cars - 1 sticker to go on the sill on each side of every car. It also provides a link from every page of this website. - *ALL 2008 series sponsorship places are now sold*
  • Media sponsor - We are looking for one sponsor who would like to reach the thousands of people who watch the Elise Trophy on Motors TV each month. This sponsor will have access to opening and closing credits on the half hour Elise Trophy show. Please get in touch to discuss the specifics. paul@elisetrophy.com
  • We realise not all companies will want the same thing so please get in touch to discuss your specific requirements.
