Using Your Race Schedule for Sponsorship

Once your schedule is set up, sponsors can see:

Pro tip: Update your schedule 4–6 weeks before races so sponsors have time to plan activations.

Common Issues & Fixes

"I can't find my championship in the list"

The series may not be in our database yet.

Fix:

  1. Search by a broader term (e.g., "Formula 3" instead of "British F3")

  3. Contact support@sponsordriven.com with:

    • Championship name

    • Country/region

    • Year(s) you competed

"My race result didn't update"

Results can take 24–48 hours to sync if connected to official series data.

Fix:

"I finished DNF/DNS/DSQ but it's not showing correctly"

The result code may not have been entered correctly.

Fix:

  • Ensure you select the correct code:

    • DNF = Did not finish

    • DNS = Did not start

    • DSQ = Disqualified

    • Retired = Mechanical failure

    • Not classified = Completed but not classified

  • Re-save with correct code

"My photos aren't appearing in the public gallery"

Photos may need approval or be in draft mode.
