Although each of the 12 teams that will sign up for the allocated slots has to come up with a £10 000 deposit (refundable at the first meeting), they can expect to get large sums back if and when they are successful in the races.<BR> <BR> For example, at each event, the most successful teams (based on finishing positions of their two cars) will win the following sums:<BR> 1st place £20 000<BR> 2nd place £10 000<BR> 3rd place £5 000<BR> 4th place £3 000<BR> 5th place £2 000<BR> 6th place £1 000.<BR> <BR> These figures add up to an impressive total of £492 000 for the season, but it doesn’t stop there. The successful drivers in each race will share the following sums:<BR> 1st place £15 000<BR> 2nd place £7 000<BR> 3rd place £3 000<BR> 4th place £2 000<BR> 5th place £1 250<BR> 6th place £750.<BR> <BR> Both prize money scales are skewed towards overall success, thereby increasing the appeal of going for the win – which is worth more than double the second place prize money for the drivers.<BR> <BR> It still doesn’t stop there. There are overall prize funds at the end of the season for first, second and third, for both teams and drivers. The winning team receives £50 000, the winning drivers £25 000.<BR> <BR> Interactive Motorsport Holdings are aiming to attract 260 000 digital subscribers to their TV package, plus 1.25 million to terrestrial coverage, and one objective is to make the drivers into real media personalities. They seem to have taken some of their targets in this area from NASCAR, and who can argue with that series’ success?<BR> <BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
