Alpine Sponsorship

Rallying is an expensive sport, and isn't possible without 'a little help from my friends' (yes that's The Beatles!)

Believing in the best bang for your buck, we've devised 3 sponsorship levels. These sponsorships are per event (unless stated otherwise), however you can contact us if you wish to arrange long term sponsorship.

The Alpine Rally of East Gippsland is held with very high regard and is the 2nd longestrunning car rally in the world, and the longest-running in Australia. There is a cap of 105 guaranteed entrants + reserves, and all guaranteed entry positions were filled in just over 30 minutes, a true testament to the nature and prestige of the event. 

$50 - Your name on our bonnet with a digital photo available to you showing your name, A thank you post on social media.

$250 - Aimed at businesses, your business logo on our bonnet, tagged in social media posts about and during the Alpine Rally 

$500 - Everything mentioned so far plus your logo put on our bonnet (or elsewhere on the car) and a special place on our daily wrap and event wrap video compiled by the legends at Mason Peart Media. A special thank you pack after the event.

Event Profile

The Alpine Rally of East Gippsland is held with very high regard and is the 2nd longestrunning car rally in the world, and the longest-running in Australia. There is a cap of 105 guaranteed entrants + reserves, and all guaranteed entry positions were filled in just over 30 minutes, a true testament to the nature and prestige of the event.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Alpine Rally, and as such, features an extended route, leading to an extra day of competition over past editions of the Alpine.

The Alpine Rally always attracts huge crowds at all spectator points, as the Gippsland Region and broader rally community come together for one of the best events on the calendar. To encourage even more spectators, the organisers add a Super Special Stage in addition to the extensive media commitments made by the event. This ensures the event is one of the biggest and most publicised in the region

About us 

We are a Victoria-based rally team that has spent the prior 4 years making a name for ourselves as one of the best teams in the country. In our first year, we won our class in the clublevel series and came 3rd in the 2WD field. We moved into the state series in 2019 and beyond.

2019 proved to be a turning point for us, winning our class and placing 3rd in the 2WD category amongst some seriously fierce competition.

In 2020, we stepped out of our Daihatsu Charade into a freshlybuilt Ford Fiesta ST, ready for a serious battle for the title. Unfortunately, this wasn't to be due to various factors out of our control. We did, however, debut the car at the Rally of the Bay in Batemans Bay, NSW, where we placed 13th O/R and 2nd 2WD. We also contested Valley Stages in 2020, held in the Yarra Valley in VIC. We placed 4th O/R and 1st 2WD.

Last year, we achieved the ambition we had when we built the Fiesta, claiming the state-level 2wd title. We also placed 3rd O/R in the entire championship.

We switched to a Turbo 4WD Subaru WRX for the 2022 season, and have claimed the title outright. We have 2 more events planned for this year, both in the Honda-powered Corolla.

Exposure:

Our plan To provide maximum exposure, Adrian Stratford Motorsport plans to actively engage with the media community, including interviews and features in local news outlets (including radio, paper, and visual activations). We expect to feature prominently in event coverage as well. We are also in talks with our media partner, Mason Peart Media, on producing a promotional piece surrounding the Alpine and Corolla to raise further awareness. This will go out on our Facebook, lnstagram and YouTube channels, and will be a strong way to introduce Powered by Honda. We are able to supply follower numbers for many social pages we will feature on upon request. With countless locals making the trek out to the forest and attending the service park, we believe it's a big opportunity to get your business out there.
