Racing budget
What I need to compete in 2026
Even as a contracted professional driver, there are significant personal and operational costs that come with racing at the top stage of GT and endurance competition. These include:
• Personal and liability insurance
• Travel and accommodation across international race calendars
• Licensing, medical requirements, and professional registrations
• Physical preparation and performance support
• Accountancy and legal structure around contracts and business activity
• Sponsor activation and return on investment programs
• The everyday costs of maintaining a professional racing career off track
Having the right budget in place allows me to make sporting decisions based on performance and long term progression, rather than depending on additional work alongside racing.
Without support, it becomes necessary to combine professional driving with coaching and other activities to cover the full structure around a season.
While coaching, organizing racing related events or building simulators is something I enjoy, it can also become a distraction when the priority should be full commitment to racing and development at the highest level.
Partnership support makes it possible to focus entirely on the programs that move me forward competitively, and it helps accelerate the path toward my long term goals in GT racing.
At the same time, sponsorship is not only about funding. It is an opportunity to connect professional motorsport with your business in a meaningful way. With the right partners, I can build something sustainable that goes beyond the track.
Support also allows me to invest in projects I am passionate about alongside racing, such as road car related ventures, early 2000's race cars, and other long term opportunities outside of competition. In short, the right backing creates time, focus, and freedom.
It allows me to perform at my best, progress faster, and build a future in motorsport with the right people involved.
