Sponsorship to us is all about mutually beneficial business partnerships and marketing, we know Zapcat Racing offers exciting entertainment and through the Zapcat experiences/events, provided by our sister company Vortex Racing, we have the perfect platform to provide the necessary introduction and future development of the sport.

ZCR is instilling a fresh approach to an existing format and it is the perfect time for various businesses/brands to maximise the marketing returns through their association with this unique and extreme sport.

We are already promoting the sport to a much wider audience than ever before, through the race series, televised events, corporate days and the massive gift experience market.  Additionally with the assistance of local councils at race venues we offer a fantastic free to view motorsport to visitors, holiday makers and residents across the UK, which has led to hundreds of thousands watching.

Not only can companies become directly involved with the Championships through sponsor partnerships that benefit all of the competitors, supporters, officials and spectators, but can also sponsor individual teams too.

When ZCR Ltd took over the management and progression of the sport it was not a hard decision to support a charity but choosing which one to appoint officially was, especially as there are quite a few other worthy causes that we still support!

We can proudly announce the first Official Zapcat Racing charity for 2010 is Help for Heroes and in particular the Battle Back iniative.

Since the start, Zapcat Racing has been fortunate to have received the patronage of several services teams, in particular the Royal Marines Zapcat Association; a group of men and women who since 2006 have made their own unique contribution to the championships. They have also been recognised for their achievements and more recently received a great deal of encouragement and support from both the Royal Marines and the Royal Navy too.

For some it has been the pure adrenaline, thrill, competition and camaraderie of Zapcat Racing, for others part of their rehabilitation process from injury whilst serving & also the excuse to have a great time!

We will be making collections at all events from spectators and will more than likely introduce a fine or forfeit system for competitors, staff & supporters!

Our aim is also to run a Celebrity Zapcat race towards the end of the year and any assistance that you can provide would be very much appreciated, so please contact us as soon as possible.

'There are many sponsorship opportunities to be had with the celebrity race.'
