Falken Tires Reaches Out to Unsponsored Formula D Drivers
Posted by Wrecked Magazine on 02 Apr 2009 at 01:37 pm | Tagged as: Formula D, Major Announcements
During the great pinch of sponsorships currently Falken Tires wants to make sure all of it’s Formula D competitors are taken care of. Any driver without a sponsor for the series can receive tire support from Falken Tires. Just read below to find out the scope on how to make your support from Falken a reality.
Falken Tire Corp is pleased to announce that we are launching a highly discounted tire purchase program to licensed drivers for the 2009 season. Although full product sponsorships are not available at this time, we believe this program will significantly reduce competition tire purchasing expenses for privateer teams.
Detailed below are the program guidelines.
* Teams will have to designate which sizes they will be using for the season and those will be the only sizes available for purchase. There is no guarantee on availability of sizes. In this case alternate sizes may be substituted.
* Tires purchased from Falken are not to be re-sold to a third party. Abuse of this purchase program will result in a disqualification to participate.
* Teams will be responsible for transportation of the tires to events. Tires may be picked up at our Fontana headquarters location or shipped at the purchasing teams’ expense.
* Teams will be responsible for mounting and disposal of tires. Falken Tire will provide trackside tire mounting services at Formula D Pro Series events for teams using Falken brand tires as time and resources permit.
* There is no limit on the tires available for purchase for events and testing.
* Teams will be required to run Falken decals on the front and sides of the race car. Specific details will be provided.
Teams who wish to participate in the program, please contact Roman Bencomo at 909-466-1116 x636 to discuss tire sizing, pricing and availability. rbencomo@falkentire.com
This is a great move for them. Good to see Falken being proactive here during this time.
Would love to hear about a follow up here in a few months to see how this program is doing for them.
Great post keep up the good work.
Bravo Falken for being sweet bro’s during the “great sponsorship drought of 09″.
Now does anyone want to sponsor me?
that is awesome!
I sure hope that somewhere in this world matt petty gets sponsorships, prefferably in the US of A on the east coast. If not…well I’m just screwed.
