The FORMULA POWERBOAT GRAND PRIX provides in itself an aura of elite competition, speed and excellence. FORMULA Superboats are the ultimate in outboard circuit racing and provide all of the elements a motor sporting enthusiast would desire or expect from this premier form of competition. It is however still targeted at the family audience and with the introduction of our new Formula Futures (Junior Class), the family is well catered for during each event.
For those not familiar with the sport the initial sight of a Formula Powerboat can be awe-inspiring. Corporations wanting to partner with our extreme water sport understand that the underpinning factor is its appeal to the television medium. Much the same as their tarmac cousins, Formula Powerboats are ready-made for television and with that comes the benefits that help the Grand Prix to grow, the competition to become stronger, the public awareness to broaden and the introduction of new sponsors to this exciting sport.
The series is televised on NBN regional TV and Fox Sports, offering our Grand Prix sponsors maximum exposure for their investment. The series has obtained strong support from local and national companies along with a growing support from local and state governments. Due to the larger audiences, the Grand Prix is also a tourist attraction in areas where these events are held. With the overwhelming growth now being experienced, the Grand Prix is now also looking to move the events closer to larger centres to capitalise on the large audiences and commercial benefits, further enhancing the sports future growth. Townsville is our latest addition to the Grand Prix’s host venues.
There are many marketing partnership sponsor packages available, most with the ability to be tailored to each company's marketing objectives, key brand values and specific product exposure. All key sponsorship packages include extensive media promotional campaigns and can include (but not limited to) any or all of the following print media; newspaper, display posters event programmes, pre and post race articles in national boating magazines, television (NBN & Fox Sports), radio, website and site promotions (media launches, shopping centre displays and event displays).
Sponsorship Packages are designed to cater from a Co-Sponsor right through to NAMING RIGHTS for each event. Sponsorship is also inexpensive and can start from as little as $1,250.00 (plus GST) as a Co-Sponsor.
