4 History Our Origins Team Spectra is comprised of two teams (Pinnacle Engineering and Raindrop Racing) that have joined together to form a collaboration team for the 2012 F1 in Schools World Finals. With a fantastic range of skills and talents, Team Spectra aim to achieve some amazing results at the upcoming World Championship. Raindrop Racing - Brief History Raindrop Racing began as a team of five girls from Kyabram competing in the 2012 Championship Season. After competing in the 2011/12 Victorian State Championships, they achieved an impressive array of awards which are outlined below. Raindrop Racing progressed through to the nationals where they placed second in Development Class. Unfortunately, one member was unable to continue with the team after the State Championships so they enlisted the help of Brent Roberts who has been with the team since.

7 Media Media Exposure Team Spectra acknowledges that media and exposure to the consumer market is an important part of considering any sponsorship proposition. Team Spectra will be involved in numerous media events and local events before we head off to the World Championships in Abu Dhabi. These will range from fundraising events such as dinners to presentations around schools and to industry. It is possible that Team Spectra will make appearances in the local newspaper and on local TV news. At all of our fundraising and media events we will be displaying our sponsors logos. Sponsors will be given the opportunity to at each of the events to give us promotional material such as brochures for us to display and hand out. Depending on the media capabilities of the event we may be able, for Platinum level sponsors to play a television advertisment. Audience As with any product range you market it to a specific age range or demographic. The competition is only open to the age range of 9 to 19. Due to the fact we are now competing at the international level, in addition to competing teams, you also get exposure to a much broader demographic. The World Finals will be held to tie in with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, in addition to the competition itself, we will be wearing our uniforms into and around the Grand Prix, potentially presenting your brand to the millions of viewers of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and its organisers. More than 1000 news articles were written and aired after the last World Finals, with its broadcasters and publishers reaching over 220 million viewers on Television and online. Media Types In this section, Team Spectra will outline the various types of media which they will be employing to advertise the team and Sponsors. Television: One part of the media coverage of the event will be Television. As we will be competing just before the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix there is the possibility of international media covering both the F1 in Schools World Final and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Newspaper: The second type of media that Team Spectra could be exposed to is the Newspapers. Seen here in the example of Raindrop Racing after winning the 2011/12 State Championships; there are other examples on the enclosed disc. The project on a state and national level grabs a significant amount of attention, on the international level the possibilities are even greater. Internet (Twitter/Facebook): As well as the more conventional forms of marketing Team Spectra also uses Twitter and Facebook to inform and communicate with its supporters and its sponsors. Team Spectra also has a website which we use to showcase our project and those who support us. Radio: The Radio is a fantastic way of communicating with large numbers of people without visuals. Team Spectra will likely be making a number of Radio appearances before heading off to the World Finals.
