Adapting a successful idea to gain sponsorship.

[LongQ]

Here is a variation on the million dollar home page concept to raise money to go racing.

Seems like an interesting approach.

I have met the chap a few times and rate him as a person as well as rating the driving ability which he clearly has. If he can make this sponsorship work, deliver the publicity for the sponsors and perform on the track it could set an interesting way of gaining funding in the future.

So, what is the general opinion? Will it run? Will it last?

The problem with the million dollar homepage was that it appeared to be propagated by adverts for casinos and the like, and you have to wonder if these affiliate guys were really paying mega bucks or if it was a marketing scam set up by the young alex ?

nobody was paying megabucks - they were paying $1 per pixel...

Shirley this idea is more based on Jan Lammers' Dome cars from Le Mans a couple of years ago, rather than the pixel thingy.

Credit where credits due etc.
