How does the driver partnership work?
The driver partnership will be a limited liability company in the name of the driver (i.e. Gina Bell Racing, LLC) where the funding will be contributed by PT Autosport or its affiliates. All partnership expenses will go towards the driver’s development including, but not limited to, race entry fees & consumables, driver coaching, track side support, travel and lodging. The driver partnership will own the driver’s brand name for any revenue earned for up to 10 years from driver partnership start date, which includes race earnings, driver-specific sponsorships, coaching, merchandise sold, and any other income received related to the driver’s brand name. Net income of the driver partnership will be split ⅔ to the driver and ⅓ to PT Autosport or its affiliates. PT Autosport will provide business services (talent management, accounting, office/travel management, and social media/website brand management) for the driver partnership. Management of the driver partnership would be by committee including the driver and the management team of PT Autosport.
