Motorsport related business

[pmvblack]

Last time, I asked what could I do with 60k, in order to become a racing driver. Not much, I know. Someone suggested (what is obvious really!) to start a company instead with the money.

I've been thinking about it, and I have a new challenge for you, now:
With 60k, what motor sport related business would you start? It can be anything motor sport related, including things related with simulation, karting, etc.

Anyone?

What is your expertise and experience? That should guide you.

Give Finbarr O'Connell a call, you might just have enough cash...........

PR and driver management that way you'll get to schmooz in the hospitality areas closing new deals with your clients sponsors. I can do all your photography if you like.

Hummm, I can get a bank loan up to 300k maybe. Is it enough to buy Caterham? I want to build a caterham SUV, and a 4 door saloon.

I've been thinking about the driving experience market. What sort of event would you like to see created? Something in race cars. There are a lot of options for supercar experiences already.

hahaha! not for 60 grand is that a possibility, track hire would be 20k min. Most TDO's have their own high performance race hire option so I doubt they'd let you on.

You might be able to do something with rally cars, if you can find a venue, but there are a lot of established operators out there, and the cars get wrecked.

for 60k, either invest in an existing race prep team, and take your dividend out in race prep for your own car, there might be a benefit in cost of services provided versus a purely financial return, or start a motorsport parts company, maybe specialise in importing/supplying helmets or competition clutches or something.

And I know that the drive a Supercar thing is nothing new. I was thinking about something like drifting or stunt driving...
