Super Kart Thailand












SKT or Super Kart Thailand is a kart racing tounament which arrange every year for the past 8 years.














It all start with Khun Kitti who use to be a racer for amost 10 years and he decided to become a dealer of karting manufacturing from both Japan and Italy. Khun Kitti said he want to turn his hobby in business. After he became a dealer, he has quite a lot of clients so he consider to arrange a racing to his client to have fun with karting that they bought from him. Anf the racing become bigger and bigger because the concept of race like we are the same family.













SKT is one of three organizer in Thailnad. The number of racer who atten each is around 50 up.
SKT is a racing which build for having fun so the sponsorship is from th company of the racer themself. More like a flavor than sponsors. But the one and only main sponsorship is TRUE coraporation which is a major media company in Thailamd.










One sponsor wasn't enough for the growing racing. But it is really hard to find sponsorship in economic like this espacialy for an unfamous sport like karting?


So my dissertation question would be:

- how to make sponsor believe that they will get benefit from invest on SKT?

- how to measure benefit?


This is only a dralf idea!!!
I hav so many book to read before consider something!!!


Ps. the first book that i read is"Sponsorship: For a return on investment"
from Guy Mastermand and there is a picture of a racing car on it so








I consider that is a good sign for me ^^
