I was on holidays a few days ago in Budapest as I was invited at the DTM race. If you don`t know what it is.... DTM stands for "Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft" and it is short a race where the German car producers battle.
Thats how that "cars" look like... here are some more pics I posted today:

Motor sport - a game with money!
That event let me think a little bit about the motor sport in general and how hard it is for young talents to get financed. It was always an expensive sport but in fact the high tech nowadays let the costs explode. I researched little and found a really cool project of Reiter Engineering from Austria what should be mentioned... called RYS - The Reiter Young Stars Cup !
Find all infos about that awesome project here: https://www.rys.racing/
The Reiter Young Stars
What is it? Simple and genius idea... a company can finance a car for a whole season for just 60k € and you finance 2 young talented drivers. What makes the project special and a real deal for the sponsor.... the team get partnered with people from one university! So the whole team is managed from a team of students and the company can also work with them on internal projects... win/win + advertisment.
What car they drive for that price?
They drive all a KTM XBow GT4 what is a safe and cheap alternative to their competitors like Porsche and so on. Just a great project to finance young people what would otherwise not can continue their sport!
Steemit Racing Team anyone?
lol... with 100k a year we could have a whole team running - ideas?
EDIT: haha... so please resteem it to reach some whales, I see already the white car with steem on it :)
