Tv Proposal for 08/09 Winter Championship
Hi everyone, please see below a letter from our drivers rep John McCluskey. Personally i think this will be a great showcase for our sport. Anne can be got at this email address on this site if any further queries.
Dear competitor,
We have been approached by a very well known TV production company to cover the full Irish championship for 08/09, the offer includes the
following...
Preview programme televised prior to 1st round in Mondello Design of new logo & branding for championship.
Creation & Maintenance of new IRC website. Pre-publicity press releases.
Race reports for Motorsport news, Autosport, Carsport & Pacenotes.
Driver features for Motorsport press.
Junior prize drive competitions.
Scheduled showings on UTV, Motors TV, Sky sports 2 & more.
The price for all the above is very competitive and should be considered
with the best interest of our sport in mind.
We are confident of raising 1 third of the cost from a sponsor however the
balance would have to be put onto the race entry fee. The additional entry fee
would average approx. 66 euro per event per driver however, we propose that the fee
would be calculated on a sliding scale, i.e.. supercars at 125 euro extra and
all other classes at approx 55 euro extra per entry.
We would like to proceed with this proposal, If there is anyone with any
objection to
the previous please contact a committee member or jmccluskey4@eircom.net
regards
John Mc Cluskey
