I may have put this in the incorrect section the first time lol.

I read over the rules as we are new I believe this is within them ? please let me know if it is not. We are not selling anything as a business just looking for help from fellow rally racers and fans! :D

Hello, My names Agatino driver of all fours rally team we are a small US rally team we run a Open light car here and we run events in our area we are looking to make a 4400 mile round trip to a snow rally! we recently finished 3rd overall at Big white in Canada. We are really pushing hard to make it to this event! One day we will make it to Europe we hope ;-) Snow is not just about power but setup and Driver/co driver!
We made a Help/Donation/Sponsor fund going to help us get there we know its a long shot but its worth a shot!

Do you have a handle/ nick name you can use for marketing purposes? I have probably overlooked where you are from in Washington, most people initially promote their home town.

Do you have any other strategies for gaining sponsorship ? Is there any product made in your area/ state that needs promotion in the Sno-drift area/ state? etc

Europe is usually a one shot effort in terms of a non-European rally crew arriving to make an impact.
Ken Block did a few rallies in NZ to get experience of the long haul flight and then competing in a rally.
An event to replicate that is the targa nz, offering probably 100 miles of asphalt stages a day for four days.

You might even find a car to hire.
Would it be any less difficult to have a rallycross/ GRC pathway strategy?
How much does the car weigh with crew?

I would almost bet one arrive and drive there with my co driver and I would almost be the best bet. GRC $$$$ we do not have any other proper rally X in the US for the average competitor ;-( please msg me with info we will chat!
I guess another route may even be attempt to find a car or tram that may sponsor a car we car run as we pay entry travel ect. who knows? we would love to come and experience over there.

Perhaps join a study abroad program.
