Rob Austin is quickly becoming one of the most popular drivers in the British Touring Car Championship paddock. It's been no secret that budget has been one of the biggest issues in the RAR team's push for that first win this season.
Having had to sit out Knockhill due to funding, Rob Austin and the team have put together a fan-based package to raise some more vital funds to get the NGTC Audi A4 back on the grid for rounds twenty two, twenty three and twenty four of the series.
The package is as follows... For £35, each person will be allocated a 10x5cm space on the roof of Rob's Audi A4 for their own picture, which will be printed and placed on the roof for the Rockingham round of the championship on the 22nd/23rd September. Not only this, but fans involved will be given the opportunity to have a group picture with Rob himself on race day.
This is what Rob had to say on the plans;
"This idea has had success in the past with many formulas. Most recently Red Bull F1 did it for charity, but it was supporters on Twitter who persuaded met to give it a go. So I had a word with RTech who support our website, and the next thing I know it's live on the site.
"I don't want to make a habit of it, as the support I get is amazing and that should be enough without it costing them £35 as well. But I'm desperate, so just this once we are going to give it a go.
"I have some great potential sponsors lines up and great prospects for next year, but that doesn't help us here and now - and we need some results to show what we could do if we were properly funded - so this could be the answer.
"I don't know if it will work or not. Ideally, I'm hoping to sell two-hundred of the spots so it will cover our tyre bull and a few other bits, but time will tell. I'm also going to offer hospitality packages for Rockingham as well - so stand by for that as well!
"If all our supporters help us out here and I can go out there and win a race for them, then I think that would be a really special thing. And I believe with the modifications we are making to the car, this will be our best shot a race win!"
Be quick, spaces are limited, so once they're gone - that's it!
