why is MRC and local races like MSS..etc not getting the sponsors? to answer that question, you guys have to think like sponsors. any marketing people here?

if you own a company.. and a racer comes up to you and asks you for money to go racing. will you just give him the money, some stickers and forget about it for the rest of the year? if thats what you're doing, its called charity. But relationships between a racer and a company that sponsors him is a business decision. In business, everyone has to make something. Not just the racer, but the company that gives him the money. So what does your company stand to gain by giving money to this racer?

It all depends on who is the racer, what is the team all about, where they are racing..

A sponsor basically wants branding, and exposure. Best of all, all this branding and exposure must actually be seen somehow by people it considers its target market. people who will buy his products or services for example.

if you think hard about it from the sponsors viewpoint, you'll probably start to understand why the situation today is the way it is.

Proton sponsors karamjit for his WRC title chase for the past 3 years now. and i'm talking 7 figures here. it was agreed that the team will look for other sponsorship to run APRC.

He has not been performing well in WRC this year. Due to this,he now wants to defend his APRC title. So he needs additional funds to do this.

So pls get your facts right before you start banging.

the problem here is that we all tend to blame one another. yes the government has put an effort into it. but it aint enuff compared to other sporting events. yes the PERT team hasn't been performing consistently on top mark. now give me one team that soars all the way to the top without a glitch sumwhere in the middle? and yes there isn't enuff funds to actually FUND the team just to race. and it will never be enuff. the money's always going out one way.
but look at the football team for example, they got good sponsorship deals with major companies n private sectors, they played in the local super league, m-league, they participated in friendly n competition games across the world (if it's not exaggerating) n they still hv their backs solidly in place thanks to the sports ministry, royal connections, private sectors sponsorship deals. n wut do we malaysian get in return? complete crap!

my POV is that motoring scene in malaysia just need more backup not only from govt but also from the private sector..dont just rely on petronas cos they have sponsored alot of teams..most of them is good..its all about sponsorship..dont think that f1 is the only event that can bring a lot of revenues..

by the way , ithink that we really need racing/rally schools..that's the only way to stop young ones racing on the street..teach them

the only way for us malaysian to be good in any type of motorsport is not be depend on our lousy corrupted gov, i say dis cuz just look at our gov, support sports that normal malaysian cant afford to participate or not interetsed in exe: Monssoon cup,horse or sailing, everyday malaysian cant afford and are not interested in. So if ur interested in motorsport dont wait, buy a car and join..Im planning to but still tgh korek2 duit!hehe
