Toca Team to Sponsor UK Marshalls

Jensen · 18 Dec 2003, 13:29 (Ref:815113)

Good day all,

Must confess have never been on the Marshalls forum, my inquiry is this, in 2004 I will be working with our new team sponsor on some slightly different marketing idea's. One of which is the proposed sponsoring of UK Marshalls. The basic principal is that our team would pay / provide you with new Marshall race suits, boots, etc, these in turn would carry the Sponsor and our team logo along with the teams web-site address, this would also be complemented by a team cap.

All you would need to do is register with us. Is this something that would be of interest to you all ?

Regards.

Please tell us more!!

jase · 18 Dec 2003, 13:34 (Ref:815120)

Sounds great, more info please

ScottDay · 18 Dec 2003, 13:37 (Ref:815121)

Here here, more info needed!

Jensen · 18 Dec 2003, 13:48 (Ref:815136)

The scheme would run in 2004, we would be looking to do this with up to 100 uk marshalls from all over the uk. As I said all you would need to do is register your details with us and then we would purchase the appropriate race suit etc, have the logos embroidered on and then forward them to you along with your team cap and possibly boots. The design has been done which features the team logo in the center at the back and the web-site address running down the left leg and right arm, the suit would also feature our principal sponsors logo on the chest pocket and shoulder turns. We are in talks soon with the people that be to attain there is no objection to this scheme and then we will be announcing it just after christmas. To view the logo check out our site at WWW.JENSENMOTORSPORT.CO.UK we can also be contacted there too. But please note do not fill our in box just yet, I will come on here and give you an email address to use to register when it starts.

Also all registered sponsored marshalls would be automatically registered on the teams supporters list = Monthly news letters, competitions, and vip race invitations as gusets of the team.

Why are we planning this scheme ?

1. Because it is a great way to spread our team name.

2. Beacause it is a great way to pread our sponsors name.

3. Because it advertises our web-site address.

4. Because its you guys and gals that dig our cars and
drivers out of the gravel in the pouring rain.

Respect to you.

Regards.

Thanks a lot for the info.

Now waiting to register.

Jensen, Great Idea!!!

Don't forget the Mechanic's Dad...

You must come for a

some time!

Mark Mitchell · 18 Dec 2003, 16:17 (Ref:815341)

You just need to spell MARSHAL right before you approve any artwork!!
What a great gesture tho!!
Also remeber that the overalls ideally need to be orange although some might argue this!!

Chigley · 18 Dec 2003, 17:36 (Ref:815403)

Bring it on!! I can't wait. Its a good logo and anything to help develop the relationship between teams and marshals, especially teams in BTCC and F3, our camps seem to be drifting apart which is a shame.

garybirch · 18 Dec 2003, 18:10 (Ref:815417)

Yes please yes please yes please!
Great idea.

Pike · 18 Dec 2003, 20:41 (Ref:815502)

Fantastic idea - shame more teams could`nt do it, does there need to be a disclaimer - something like "there are other racing teams available and we will treat all fairly!!!".

Jensen - I fully apprecaite overalls, hats etc would be limited, if you get more than 100 marshals register (which would`nt surprise me) - I kinda assume it will be on a first come first served basis, although would it be possible for all to receive newsletters etc??

Alan Green · 18 Dec 2003, 20:44 (Ref:815506)

Jensen, well done for this idea, another supporter here for you.

Best wishes to you and your team(s) in 2004, I'll be seeing you at at least four btcc meetings as it stands at the moment...

Al.

blueflagger · 18 Dec 2003, 22:08 (Ref:815574)

Want to sponsor an american marshal (where we also spell the word "marshall")? I'm envious!

**Stephen Green** · 18 Dec 2003, 23:33 (Ref:815655)

Fabulous idea Jensen, I wish you much luck and thank you for thinking of us!

DITTO

If it is the success I think it will be (for your marketing people aswell as us), it might even lead to other teams thinking about it and then who knows how many of us could benefit.

p.s. where do I sign-up??

cameratart · 19 Dec 2003, 08:45 (Ref:815854)

Great idea Jensen - just wish that more teams would offer the same type of gesture.

Are you expecting the marshals who get the overalls to attend all the BTCC and F3 rounds? As you may (or may not) realise, most marshals tend to be regulars at one or two circuits and then do the occasional visit to others, so doing every round would not be feasible for most people.

Jensen · 19 Dec 2003, 09:14 (Ref:815874)

Your questions.

Cameratart : Yes our aim is to get various Marshals from all over the uk, when we ask you to register we will ask where your based and what cicuits / meetings do you most attend, also how many meetings a season do you attend. This way if we get more than 100 registrations we will select the most active marshals.

Crazystu : We will advertise in autosport when the registrations open, it will be in the national editorial section by way of a feature as opposed to an add, in January. But I have said I will come on here before the autosport edition comes out.

Pike : All that register will be automatically be listed on the teams newsletter list.

Mr Orange : Of course.

Stephen Green, Alan Green, Gary Birch, chigley, observer, scott day : Your welcome.

I will sign off for a while now, all a bit manic this end ( so much for a break during the off season ). As promised when all is in place I will start a thread on here for you guys / gals to register.

Regards

Jensen.

ss_collins · 19 Dec 2003, 10:22 (Ref:815909)

Jensen may I suggest you put ads in Motorsport News and In Gear too - as MN is read by a lot of marshals too (and is the only publication to run marshals stuff)

Alan Crook · 19 Dec 2003, 12:51 (Ref:816025)

Great idea Jensen, shame its limited to 100.

The RAC appear to be still getting lots of free advertising from the overalls they gave to marshals at the GP about 5 years ago,many still appearing around the circuits.

**Woolley** · 20 Dec 2003, 00:36 (Ref:816534)

Best wishes for this venture, it's much appreciated already, and your selection criteria is the right one. Although some of us may be on site but still inactive (seem to remember sleeping thorugh something at Doni in the back of the KED unit last year!)

mark ch · 20 Dec 2003, 13:54 (Ref:816787)

Great idea jenson, you may even find the car gets extra care if it left the black stuff (hoping you won't visit us though)..

I see one of your mechanic is a BARC marshal on the web page....i take it he helped surgest the mobile advertising space available at multiple race tracks at a one off cost.. a marshals back.... it's an ad man dream location...

tangoed sparky · 21 Dec 2003, 18:28 (Ref:817566)

Great JENSEN!!! also you have a good web site. GOOD LUCK FOR 2004

andrew_powell98 · 22 Dec 2003, 09:04 (Ref:818024)

Well Jensen any team that supports the people in Orange get my vote and I would be happy to wear any sponsored clothing. I hope you have a good season and win. It is great to see someone looking at supporting the marshalls as not every team appriciates the hard work that marshalls all over the world do. No doubt if observer gets sponsered by you, all reports will be praising the skill of your drivers.

Mark Mitchell · 22 Dec 2003, 15:32 (Ref:818251)

I'm full of tricks like that!!

andrew_powell98 · 23 Dec 2003, 12:37 (Ref:818909)

And of course I would never use the flags to assist the car would I Observer!
