How does the driver partnership work?

The driver partnership will be a contract between the driver and PT Autosport.  The support provided by PT Autosport will go towards approved expenses for the driver’s development including, but not limited to, race entry fees & consumables, driver coaching, track side support, travel and lodging. PT Autosport will exclusively own the driver’s brand name for any revenue earned for up to 10 years from the contract 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 for the driver’s brand/trademark 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, on an as-needed basis. Management of the driver partnership would be by committee including the driver and the management team of PT Autosport.
