New Level Motorsports Review

New level motorsports retail performance parts and accessories. It is aimed towards the car enthusiast with a wide range of products for sale all covered in several categories such as brakes, nitrous oxide, neon and led lights, suspension, clutches and flywheels etc. However, the one thing that I was sad not see on it was spoilers and bumpers.

Nevertheless, each category you go into has a detailed description on that category which I found very helpful when buying for the first time. Each product has its own picture so you can see exactly what it is you are buying and a detailed description on what it does and how it works; some have videos on them. I went and searched in the headers and header wrap category which lead me to a page where I selected the car manufacturer I wanted the parts for. Then I went to honda and picked what I wanted. Its so much easier and quicker than most sites because you have to search through categories and more categories and sub categories etc.

From the home page you can search straight away what you want for a quick purchase which is shipped same day free of charge if before 7 pm us eastern time and over $100.which is a brilliant feature some sites don’t offer. They will also do a price match for you if you find somewhere else cheaper so they guarantee the lowest prices. I wanted a sports exhaust for honda so I went into that category and easily picked one for a civic.

Ordering on the site is simple and secure, with a variety of payment options such as paypal, visa etc. Transactions are done over yahoos merchant 128 bit encription and has been highly rated certified and trusted by bizrate. If you don’t want to order of the New Level Motorsports site you can place an order over the phone, the number which is on their website but i used the website.

If they don’t have an order in stock they contact you and give you an estimated time when it will arrive also giving you the option if you wish to cancel your order.The service is fantastic. After you order with New Level Motorsports expect delivery to be about a week but it just depends on where you live, i live in the UK, so if your in America it will be less. New Level Motorsports also offer 2-3 day overnight delivery service if you want it quickly.

New Level Motorsports ships all their goods with insurance so I didn’t worry about receiving a damaged product I could’ve got a replacement if I had received a damaged one. New Level Motorsports offer a range of good customer support either via email, phone, fax or even instant messenger again another good feature that not all sites have. so its one I’m gonna visit again.

Is Motorsports Marketing Affordable?

Motorsports marketing does not have to cost your company an arm and a leg. It can be a great way to get your brand in front of the viewing public both locally and nationally. A good motorsports marketing agency can help you find local and national sponsorship opportunities, and most of all, they can help you find drivers that don’t just know how to drive, but know how to promote products. After all, this is about promoting your brand, right?

First, you need to decide what kind of exposure you need. If you are a small local business, then you obviously just want to target local teams that race in your area. Another great place to look for local motorsports marketing opportunities is with the advertising departments at the race track as just about all of them sell track side ads.

If you are looking for national exposure then you would want to look at getting sponsorships in racing circuits such as NHRA, ARCA, Campign World, or a similar circuit that does not require a multi-million dollar budget like NASCAR, but still gets you great brand exposure. You should expect to pay more for a racing series that has television exposure, but of course, this means you can expect more people to see your brand. As with any branding effort, it takes more than a one time deal to become well known, but one time deals can go far especially when combined with some good PR or bundled with additional marketing services.

There are many variables within a motorsports marketing campaign as well which is why you can often negotiate a great deal if you have a little know how. For example, a campaign could just include on car exposure which means if you sponsor a winning driver, you get more branding, or it could include a host of additional options such as transporter wrapping (the transporter is the tractor trailer that carries the car to and from the races ) which can give you lots of great exposure to more than just the racing community. Also, a good motorsports marketing agency will always want to make the event news worthy, so you should make sure that at least a news release is a part of the deal. Press will benefit both the racing team and your business, so there is no reason for them not to want to do it.

I hope this has been helpful, and I look forward to seeing your company logo at the racetrack!

China Motorsports and Why It Is Impressive

China is constantly in the headlines in many foreign newspapers, magazines, TV shows. As a French citizen living in China for the past 7 years, I am amazed at how much is written about China in my own country. A few years back it was the year of China in France, the following year it was the year of France in China, exhibits, shows, conferences, it was a great way for both countries to get to know each other better. But even if China is on the forefront of the media all around the world, in many areas it is still at a growing stage and going through the learning process, but not for long.

Motorsport is no exception to the rule; China is learning but is learning In the UK, motorsport engineering and services has a total turnover in excess of £5 billion, of which 50% is exported. The industry employs 38,000 people, with 75% of this workforce being highly qualified engineers working in 3,000 individual, mostly small and medium sized enterprises. The motorsport sector and its supply chain drives the development and growth of companies which make up the cluster of 450 high-performance engineering (HPE) companies in the East Midlands, including 200 motorsport-specific companies.

The cluster consists of engine builders, precision engineers and electronics specialists. But there is also a huge skills overlap which takes the business activity of HPE companies into the field of servicing for the automotive, aerospace, electronics, material technology, watersports and medical technologies sectors.

Motorsport Industry

UK teams, engineering firms and supporting services have been a major global force in motorsport for many years now. In the UK, motorsport manufacturing is concentrated in a cluster that includes the East Midlands, Northamptonshire in particular. Here, we boast major venues for racing and testing vehicles:

Silverstone, the internationally renowned, world-class venue for motorsport events home of the British F1 Grand Prix and British Motorcycle Grand Prix
Rockingham, the only ‘oval’ motorsport circuit in the UK
Santa Pod, the UK’s premier drag racing strip
MIRA, renowned as a leading design, testing and certification organisation that provides engineering expertise and advanced testing facilities across the entire range of transport technologies
With such resources on hand it is easy to see why 200 plus major motorsport companies, employing 6,000 people with an annual turnover of £0.6 billion, have made their base in the East Midlands. In addition, the region is home to:
Internationally recognised engine builders including Cosworth, Ilmor Engineering, Mahle Powertrain and Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines
A significant share of the international motorsport supply chain, (including expertise in composites and precision engineering)
F1 constructors Mercedes F1 and Force India
The National College of Motorsport
A partnership of three further education colleges based in the heart of Motorsport Valley, this was the first vocational centre for motorsport and performance engineering to tackle the decline and shortage of craft techniciafast, really fast. Europe has had a racing culture for much longer, people have enjoyed going to events for years with their family, people have driven cars for over 100 years, but it seems that slowly, the western world is not what is used to be for motorsport, it is sort of stagnating while China is leveraging on motorsport more and more through the involvement of car manufacturers, race teams, promoters.

China is catching up, motorsport is booming. It is impressive to see so many events of international standard coming to China one by one over the years, not all successful right away but all trying their best to succeed: FIA GT, F1, MotoGP, V8, DTM, Le Mans, WTCC. The age of China begging to get events is over. I remember a few years back, as I was working at Zhuhai international Circuit, we had the visit of an American promoter who wanted to discuss a historic F1 event to take place in ZIC. As much as we welcomed his ideas and his vision, and were open to listen to his offer, he had not yet realized that Chinese Motorsport Companies were now in a position to negotiate, partner with series and championships rather than just buy events at any cost. So when he offered for us to purchase the rights to his event for a few million dollars, the deal was off immediately.

And by this simple anecdote, I just want to show that China’s motorsport market has already moved to a different level over the past few years. It took time from the first Hong Kong Beijing Rally, the first GT race downtown Zhuhai, the first F1 Race in Shanghai, to put China motorsport on the map of international motorsport but if we look now, in 2011, what events come to China, what deals are made, what partnerships are signed and the level of sponsorship and involvement of all the partners, teams and federations, it is a completely different scene than the one in the 1990′s, at the start of China motorsport.

Obviously, all is not perfect and a few things have to improve. When an industry grows fast, the foundations can be rocked. I would say that one of the key things to improve is the relationship between all the actors of the industry: promoters, circuits, teams, federations, sponsors, it could often be smoother and healthier. Most parties are passionate about this sport, which is great and necessary, but often, business priorities wildly take over. At times, the struggles that take place amongst the actors seem unnecessary: who will promote what, who will organize what. But it is also part of any growing business community, we all want a piece of the cake and it is no different in China motorsport, actually maybe it is even more obvious because of the glamorous image of motorsport and the strong media coverage. But let’s not forget that we all have a responsibility towards the sport we love, the image we give of it is what people will remember. Small to big operators all contribute to that image. The best we do for China’s motorsport future, the more business will flow back to the community.

2011 is going to be another impressive year with new events and a super busy month of November in South China with WTCC in GIC and Intercontinental Le Mans Cup in Zhuhai for the final round, followed by the world renowned Macau Grand Prix. 2011 is also: news circuits, new teams, new Chinese drivers on the local and foreign scenes, and more foreign businesses looking to invest in our sport, let’s look forward to it and make it grow together.

Forza Motorsport 3 Assists: A Look Into Forza 3 Assists

Forza Motorsport 3 is a racing game that driving alone will not allow you to win. If you have played the game at all you have realized this. Forza Motorsport 3 is a revolutionary racing game in which the driver selects upgrades and tunes their own racing vehicle. Each track is different throughout the game and will require different components to allow it to race at top capacity. If you are a novice to the world of racing games the Forza Motorsport 3 assists will help guide your vehicle until you are up to speed with how the games works. There are also sites out there that will allow you to purchase cars that are already designed for specific tracks. At that point all you will have to learn is how to drive them.

Forza 3 assists are available to all drivers. The game maker recommends that all players use the assist as it will keep the game competitive for all skill levels. You may net a lower amount of winnings but it will get you started out in the world of Forza 3 racing. The assist work as follows. Placing in a race earn you x amount of money. For each assist you have enabled it will cost you a certain percentage of your winnings. As you begin to get more comfortable with your car and the tracks you can disable more assist which will allow you to net more of the winnings.

Many players assume that they can race with 100% of the assists off. This is an unwise idea for even the most experienced racer. In order to maximize the funds you make you will want to enable only those assists that will earn you back the most money without losing control of your car. Using assist to win the most races and net the biggest winnings is the goal of most Forza 3 players. If you are interested in using the assists but are cautious at any loses you might be taking consider settings such as simulation when it comes to Damage, Fuel, Tire Wear. If your car sustains damage you are most likely going to restart the race so setting it to limited and finishing the race won’t net you nearly as much money.

Another feature that allows you to net the most winnings is enabling the difficulty setting to hard. You must be experienced because this level is not for those of us who play loose. When winning in this mode you are basically getting an extra 15% bonus to your cash winnings.

The rewind assist feature is brand new for Forza Motorsport 3. This assist allows you to back the race up in five second increments so that you can replay that moment in time. This Forza Motorsport 3 tool can be used as much as needed without penalty. This is a great tool to use when experimenting on a new course especially if you find yourself hitting a wall or taking a corner too aggressively. Who doesn’t want to turn back time when they fail to do something right the first time? Use caution though because players have reported that near the end of a race when they need the rewind function most it has been unable to work.

Forza Motorsport 3 is an optimal racing game for all levels. Assists make it possible for even the newest player to race against the most personalized cars and experienced drivers. Winning the race while losing a portion of the winnings is a small price to pay for the feeling of victory you will have when you are annihilating the competition.
