General
Background
With
the completion of the Zhuhai International Circuit in China,
motorsports has become more accessible to the general public
and the public awareness of motorsports, amongst both Hong
Kong and China population, is on the rise exponentially. Coupled
with the forthcoming Formula One event in China in the year
2000, motorsports in Hong Kong and China has enjoyed an ever
increasingly widespread attention.
For
the past couple of years, with the help of the vast marketing
campaign of a major mobile phone manufacturer, motorsports
events have been widely covered not only in car-related magazines
but also on various general magazines and newspapers, thus
reaching an even wider audience
Motorsports
& Corporate Image
Traditionally
speaking, the public have always associated motorsports with
adventurous, dynamic, pioneers, competitive, precise, decisive
and so on. We see motorsports as one of the best medium for
affirming the corporate image. Motorsport sponsorship will,
by association, reinforce the image of a fast moving, high
tech, innovative and ambitious company. Like the sport, it
reflects a company's aims and culture, requiring the ultimate
in teamwork whilst operating at the cutting edge of technology.
This concept applies not only to car-related industries. In
fact, most of the major sponsors for motorsports have little
connection with cars. Examples include dynamic and fast-growing
financial institutions, fashion companies, luxury products
and the categories never close.
