Gresini Racing has forged a partnership with MotoGP Guru and SPORTPASS, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, to introduce a unique sponsorship program powered by fans. This innovative initiative allows MotoGP enthusiasts to purchase personalized team sponsorship packages, with prices starting at 125 euros.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, Graeme Warring, the Founder of WePlay Media, highlighted the main challenge of launching these fan-accessible MotoGP sponsorship packages. Warring stated that WePlay Media, the gaming studio behind MotoGP Guru, has established the necessary organizational infrastructure and on-the-ground teams to bring real-life experiences to life.
By offering sponsorship at a fraction of the usual cost, Gresini Racing aims to make this product accessible to a wider and more diverse audience, reducing the risk of centralization. This move aligns with the ongoing discussion in the cryptocurrency industry about the potential of decentralization.
Warring believes that the fan sponsorship program has the power to decentralize the ownership of MotoGP teams, allowing fans to become more actively involved. This could have a significant impact on the world of professional sports in the future.
The sponsorship packages provide fans with exciting benefits, including VIP Paddock Experiences at the 2024 Grand Prix events, name placement on the bikes and team websites, and exclusive events. Additionally, owners of team sponsorship packages have the opportunity to participate in Zoom calls with team members, receive custom merchandise, and even have a chance to win a Ducati Panigale V4S previously used by Marc Marquez.
