And you are not taking into account 'mates rates' and the amount of free labour from myself to them over the last 4 years... And the fact that all I'm after is one single picture of a sticker on the car... Even if it was attached.. Pic taken.. Removed..that ain't t sponsorship,.. It's being cheeky!
One cheeky pic...

And it's not as if there are hundreds of sponsors queueing up. I don't see why they wouldn't take a small amount of money and have our sticker on the car for one race. The alternative is receiving no money and having nothing on the car.

Ok, it probably doesn't work like that but it seems logical in my brain :p

They could pull a March @ Montreal 1992, I guess.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Even if we only gave them something like £300 I'm sure they'd be grateful that a bunch of people were willing to give them money and they could buy some simple parts with some of the money

Basically ran around the local area getting small restaurants and businesses to chip in in return for a sticker on the car. The results was this:

This is exactly the point why I believe that this thing will eventually work out.

Maybe with luck (and lots of donated money) we might actually see the logo on tv-feed. I hope that this is the objective for everyone. 8)

but on the other hand, if only a group of opportunists with a bit of cash was needed to put a random sticker on an F1, we would have seen it already years before. I can't believe nobody has ever tried this.

well if this doesn't succeed we can always put us up as candidates for our own team, we have to pay 1000$ and we'll be able to get further into the process than USGP :lol:

Well, everything seems very expensive just to put a tiny sticker...but i trully think that HRT will be happy just to know that a bunch of racing enthusiasts are supporting them the way we do :)

Sorry, but you're the one who wants to put a sticker on a racing car that will barely be seen, on a team that won't last long, yet I'm the idiot?


Yes you're an idiot....
