THE CLIMB: IT’S WORTH THE VIEW

From a commercial perspective, Formula One, along with the


Olympic Games and the World Cup, leads the way as the most
globally recognized and desirable sporting brand.

Over 185 million people tune in to


their television sets each year.
No other annual sporting series
matches F1’s world wide audience.
As befits a series of such stature, the road for a driver to get there
makes room only for the best. But, where there is great challenge,
there is great reward. Formula One drivers consistently rank among
the very highest paid athletes in the world, commanding salaries and
endorsement contracts that can add up to tens of millions of dollars
per year.

Drivers who aspire to such mighty heights have a number of paths


to climb. A generally accepted route includes a year in a junior
formula series like the MSA Formula Ford Championship of Great
Britain, then a sucessfull stint in a national Formula 3 series is usually
in order. From there it is on to the highest rungs in the formula
car ladder. Those who can excel at the top of the ladder often are
sought by F1 teams as testers or development drivers before earning
a full time race seat.
Focused on racing, serious about winning,
destined to succeed

Prospectus
The road to Formula 1 is not only a challenge competitively, but also
financially. Never has a driver made it there on the strength of their
talent alone.

in order to demonstrate talent,


drivers must rely on the backing
of individuals or enterprises
seeking to gain from their
ascendance to the highest ranks
of motorsport.
Commercial enterprises have a number of opportunities to leverage for
short term returns. Branding, hospitality, prizing and public relations
are but a few of the modes to activate a marketing partnership with
the legs to drive sales and build awareness for a product or service.
Consideration can be in cash or in kind, tailored to suit most any budget.

Those seeking longer-term investment opportunities are requested to


consider investing in Newgarden himself. Success by other drivers
using a similar formula validates this option. Essentially, investor(s) have
the opportunity to participate by underwriting Newgarden’s career in
the development stages in return for a negotiated percentage of Racer
of Tomorrow ltd. and/or future driver earnings. The potential return is
estimated to far out weigh the initial investment when lucrative Formula 1
and endorsement contracts are realized.
