JGR has teamed with the online collectibles auction website GoMotorBids.com to auction one-of-a-kind pieces of race-used memorabilia as well as ultra-rare pre-production prototypes and samples of diecast collectibles. A portion of the proceeds will benefit charities of Joe Gibbs Racing and its drivers.

JGR owns and operates three teams in both the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series and the NASCAR Busch Series with a driver lineup that includes two-time and reigning Nextel Cup champion Tony Stewart and rookies Denny Hamlin and J.J. Yeley.

Collectors will now be able to bid on the ultimate collectibles for these drivers, as well as drivers and teams from JGR’s storied past, such as 2000 NASCAR Cup Series champion Bobby Labonte, various JGR entries in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and Busch Series, plus the NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car teams campaigned by JGR in the 1990s.

Some of these items have been warehoused within JGR for more than a decade, but now the vault has been opened to race fans and collectors who are clamoring for authentic race-used driver uniforms, crew uniforms, helmets, race car sheet metal, artwork and one-off prototypes of diecast collectibles that are truly unique and highly valuable.

Dave Alpern, vice president of marketing for JGR, said, “We are pleased to now be partnered with GoMotorBids.com. What excited us was the opportunity to raise money for charitable causes, while offering our fans legitimate collectibles from a trusted source.”

As with every auction on GoMotorBids.com, the JGR items will all start with a bid of $1 and have no reserve prices, assuring that the highest bidder wins. This “no reserve policy” is quite contrary to industry standards, where many online sellers try and protect high-profile items with reserve prices or high starting bids. However, that technique is not practiced by GoMotorBids.com, as illustrated by The Home Depot uniform worn by Stewart that GoMotorBids.com auctioned for more than $20,000 to benefit the Jeff Gordon Foundation.

“We couldn’t be happier about opening the Joe Gibbs Racing Online Auction House,” said GoMotorBids.com president Patrick Rainey. “JGR is known as an organization with a lot of integrity in everything they do, so we’re honored they chose us as an outlet for their race-used items and collectible prototypes. Plus it’s great for the collectors, as they get the opportunity to add something to their collection that very few people ever get the chance to own.” [PRWEB]

Created by former Indycar racer Dominic Dobson, SportVue LT1 will work on nearly any vehicle, including motorcycles, karts, road racing cars, dirt cars, autocross cars, boats – even snowmobiles. The display mounts onto any full-face racing helmet, and shows the racer’s last lap time and lap count – then compares the last lap with the racer’s session best.

The SportVue Heads Up display technology is similar to that used by Top Gun fighter pilots. Seattle’s Motion Research Corporation owns the patents that bring the technology to consumers. The display gives riders and drivers a constant view of critical data in an n easy-to-use display in the drivers’ peripheral vision, focused at infinity. The technology frees the rider from distracting glances at dash-mounted displays and pit boards, and saves the cost of radios and extra crew members.

Dobson created SportVue with the help of scientists at the University of Washington – and other racers. “I first envisioned this product as a way to boost performance when it matters the most – at 200 miles an hour!” says Dobson. [PRWEB]

A hundred dollar ‘block’ allows supporters to display a 20 x 50 pixel image on Mansell’s homepage and also a 1 x 2.5 inch image on his racecar. Companies can purchase as many ‘blocks’ as required, to ensure greater visibility.

Mansell’s idea is similar to that of Alex Tew’s very successful Million Dollar Homepage, with a slight twist. “My idea is an evolution of the Million Dollar Homepage, with added benefits at a lower cost. There is a massive ‘buzz’ around the site and people are excited about getting their name on an actual high-profile race car. My website is getting lots of traffic and this will only grow with my career profile.”

The Indy Racing League are fully behind Mansell’s imaginative idea. The IRL’s Media Relations Coordinator, Tim Harms says, “Scott’s idea is very simple and the good ideas always are. We are giving him full support and everyone is talking about this radical idea. We wish Scott and his team the very best for this season.”

Motorsport sponsorship at this level costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and the young racer may well have hit on a great idea. Mansell is allowing any firm to advertise in a very large arena, at a very affordable price. With large amounts of traffic being directed from his site, Mansell is confident that companies will instantly see the benefit. “Once they have paid their initial fee, traffic directed at their site will cost them nothing.” [PRWEB]

This chart provides each and every sponsor that provided Ferrari with both direct and/or trade support with their respective totals for the last six years. Obtaining sponsors, catering and bringing them satisfaction with the knowledge of having them obtain a return on their investment is not an easy task. The currency fluctuations of the US dollar declines with the Euro Dollar increasing spelled only trouble for the team, since, their costs are in Euro Dollars and their sponsorship revenue is in US dollars, with this, Ferrari have been faced with various new challenges outside the racing track to maintain and keep up against the competition in this new decade.

Ferrari’s President, Luca Di Montezemolo is always proactive, with suggestions of a Ferrari stock floatation that has yet to take off, but, meanwhile, found new solutions to keep the Ferrari team operating on a budget of more than 300 usd million a year season after season while obtaining nothing less than success on and off the track even when faced with various obstacles on his driving path.

Starting with the year 2000, Ferrari operated on a total budget of 239.60 usd million to where they received 65 usd million from the Phillip Morris company (Marlboro) playing a significant role in covering the driver’s salaries of Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. During this year, Ferrari was 90% owned by Fiat and 10% by Pierro Ferrari. 55 usd million came from Ferrari SPA consisting of their merchandise sales to which was part of the high wave of Ferrari merchandise sales era. Fiat and Shell provided a total of 20 usd million each.

This was also the year to where the Ferrari sponsors were able to advertise with triumph status and obtain excellent returns for their association with the Scuderia and companies such as Fiat, Tic Tac, and, Federal Express did not hesitate to link their connection and increase their advertising budgets.
