The cost of sponsorship in F1: a foreword

It is necessary to make one thing clear right away: our sponsorship calculator is a pure reference tool and cannot replace professional, vertical and accurateadvice in the field.
It serves to give an idea of the figures, an order of magnitude, and above all to make it clear that there are no standard sponsorship packages, only projects that are tailored and made according to the needs of the sponsoring companies. La Formula 1 is an exciting and complex world in which so many options and variables are at play.
Precisely with this in mind, our F1 Sponsorship Calculator is a simple exercise, which we built on our experience in the industry and with the intention of promoting a positive and transparent culture of the world of sponsorship in motorsport.
The same, and in the same spirit, we did on the occasion of our MotoGP Sponsorship Calculator. As you will see, there are no names: we have done this intentionally out of fairness to the teams we work with and because our calculator is not meant to be used to make a budget, but to enter -better if having fun- inside a fascinating and expanding world

Sponsorship in Formula 1, in addition to the cost

Our F1 sponsorship calculator is a nice, handy script that processes data and numbers based on your input.
It is useful to understand that the size of the logo and the chances of a team’s success are only some of the elements involved in determining the price of a partnership in Formula 1.
However, and reiterating that this exercise of ours has but an academic purpose, it is always important to emphasize that the cost of sponsorship is only one of many factors in an equation that must necessarily start with a company’s commercial and marketing objectives and be declined to territories, targets, product types and much more. “How much does it cost?” in short, is an important question but not the only one.
At the same time, it is not necessarily the case that the cost of sponsorship is, in itself, a guarantee of success.
We have over the years seen numerous programs that are not pharaonic but beautifully constructed and managed-and therefore highly successful-so as not to strongly reiterate that creativity, planning, analysis, and continuous fine tuning are the key to great results.

Why choose RTR Sports Marketing

In an era where it is possible to get anywhere with a click, there is a strong temptation to approach teams and properties directly for sponsorship projects.

By doing so, we are convinced that we are shortening the value chain, saving time and money. However, these DYI methods are anything but risk-free and what initially appears to be a competitive advantage soon turns into a problem that is difficult to resolve. That’s why there are agencies. And this is why you should rely on us for your sponsorships.

I would like to highlight the fact that one of the qualities of RTR is its great ability to approach the sponsorship scenario strategically, together with its passionate attitude, its amazing enthusiasm for solving problems, and its high level of professionalism.

Passion and Expertise are the features that I have found in RTR since the very beginning. Serious and reliable professionals but also very helpful, nice and open-mind people, willing to listen and compare different ideas. All the values in which RTR believes make this agency a partner, not just a supplier, a partner with whom we have had the opportunity to achieve significant commercial results in term of success and image.

Lucio Cecchinello

Team Principal

I have known and worked with Riccardo Tafà since 1995 when we collaborated for the first time on a project for the Williams Formula 1 team. Several clients followed. After leaving Williams to work for Gerhard Berger then owner of the Toro Rosso F1 Team, I turned again to Riccardo to seek his help in finding a tool supplier for the team and Riccardo duly obliged with an introduction to USAG, a partnership with Toro Rosso which endured for five years. I recently started a new role as Group Commercial Director for the renowned Andretti Autosport organisation and I find myself working with Riccardo once again on a number of interesting projects. Why has this relationship with Riccardo endured ? He’s smart, knows the commercial side of sport inside out and back to front and he’s honest and trustworthy. Riccardo Tafà is a “doer” not a “talker”: in over 20 years I have never had a dispute either with him or with a company that he has introduced and each partnership introduced by Riccardo has delivered quantifiable ROI to rights holder and sponsor alike. I can think of no better testimonial of Riccardo’s diligence, knowledge, contact base and hard work than that.
