OK, we have been asked if we (Samurai Tuning) would like to take part in this years Cannon Ball Run Europe 2!
But...we need sponsors, as it aint going to be cheap (£3k entry fee per car, not inc. petrol). We are importing two high performance jap cars (not letting on what just yet) and going mad with them, both styling and performance. We need to as most cars that take part are ferraris, TVR's, Lambo's, etc.
What we will be offering is basically space on our cars for company graphics, mentions in all the press coverage, and there is lots of it. Reports will be in most european car mags, papers and there is also a film crew with us!
So what I need to know is suggestions of who we should approach for sponsorship, and how much you think we should ask! We already have ideas of petrol companies, insurance companies, alarms makers, ICE makers, and tyre manufacturers, and the company we import the cars from......
suggest away!

I know there wouldnt be on here, just wondered if anyone else had ideas of companies as I've ran out!!
Our logos will be all over it, infact the main ones!! These will be on the back window and probably on the sides!

Anyone got any thoughts on how much we should ask? Or should we leave it open for them to suggest something and work from there?

From the looks of it a couple of companies have already got back to us interested in it, but need a few more!
When you mention its being filmed they tend to take more notice!
