The Million Dollar Mansell – British racer lures sponsors with unique opportunity

Following the huge success of the milliondollarhomepage.com, British racing driver Scott Mansell has launched a similar concept to help find the rest of the sponsorship he needs to race in America this year.

Mansell, the 2004 BBC Midlands Sports Young Sports Personality of the Year and Autosport Mclaren Young Driver of the Year finalist who is aged just twenty, holds the outright lap record at Brands Hatch, Donington, Silverstone and Zolder. He is set to follow in the footsteps of the 2005 Indy 500 winner and fellow Brit Dan Wheldon, when he takes on the best in the United States in the 2006 Indy Pro series.

Companies and individuals can support Scott starting at just fifty dollars, which will get an image and link on www.milliondollarmansell.com and also on his actual race car for the 2006 season.

Fifty dollars buys a 500 (20x25) pixels on the milliondollarmansell.com website and a logo space of 1 inch x 1.25 inches on his actual race car whilst the standard block costs one hundred dollars and buys 1000 pixels (20x50) and a 1 inch x 2.5 inch space on the car.

"Alex Tew set up the Million Dollar Homepage to fund his University studies and I am hoping to do the same in order to find the remainder of the budget to race in the USA this year. The big difference is that supporters and companies will also get their image/logo on the actual race car as well as www.milliondollarmansell.com.

I still need to find further sponsorship to compete in the USA in the Indy Pro series and I really think this offers companies great value for money. Companies can purchase as many blocks as they want starting at only fifty dollars. The more blocks they purchase the bigger their logo and the bigger the space on the car."
