Responses from motors ports companies and race teams
Discussion
Hi all,
I have a 6 year old who we are trying to persuade to practise his writing, often easier said than done.
Recently we have had a few days out to some motorsports events, two wheeled and four wheeled, I have suggested to my son that he could write to some race teams and ask for stickers and posters, etc.... He thought this was a great idea and he has already written 2 letters this evening, the problem is, I don't know who to post them to.
Does anyone have any ideas of the teams or companies who are most likely to reply? I don't want him to be disappointed and I want to encourage him to continue writing, if we get a few responses then he might keep this up for a while, which would be great.
He is fickle, as all 6 year olds are, so any type of cool looking motorsports would be fine, or any other companies in general who might reply, were a motor sports family but any company or organisation who sends a response and a little something would be a big deal for him.
Does anyone have any advice or similar experience?
Thanks in advance PH!

Massive thanks to the people who have replied so far, both in the forum and in the post!
My son has written several letters so far and he has lots more to do, which he is now excited and motivated to do so!
My son was buzzing this evening when I got home from work, 2 companies have sent him parcels with stickers, posters and car air-fresheners, his room stinks like something fruity and he has stickers everywhere, he is even putting stickers on my car to make it look like a race car (I drive a Ford B-max so his imagination must be good, lol).
He was 'star of the day' today for writing and he has also started a box of things to take to school at 'show and tell' when it's his turn in a couple of weeks, which is a nice turn-up for the books because we started this to improve his writing as he didn't want to try and it was an agreed 'area for improvement' at parents evening!
He's not turned into a calligraphy expert or scollar but we're seeing improvement and he is motivated, so a massive thanks again, for the people who have been in touch and given an address, you will all get letters, we're just doing it at his pace as not to make it a chore!
I don't know whether to name the excellent companies who have replied so far to publicly acknowledge their kindness or not, I should have asked in advance, for now, you know who you are and I will email some of you to check if you don't mind me publicly thanking you on the forum.
