Sponsors

Without sponsorship, you will never get very far in GP Manager Pro. There are eight distinct sections of your car that sponsors may wish to paste their logos onto.

When a sponsorship deal is first initiated it starts at 0%. After each race this number will increase or even decrease. How quickly you gain sponsorship is determined by the sponsors wealth. It is also affected by the quality of your commercial department, and by how much of their time you assign to negotiating the deal. Performing well in races also helps. Once it reaches 100% the sponsor will offer an amount of money to advertise on one area of your car. The amount of money is determined by the sponsors wealth and the prestige of the area it wishes to sponsor. You may sign the contract and for the next ten races the sponsor will give you money.

As soon as you sign the deal the sponsors happiness drops to 50%. This needs to be raised back to 100% before you can renew the deal. If you leave enough of your commercial department with this section you can renew the deal as soon as it ends.

Although you can initiate negotiations with multiple sponsors per section, you can only ever sign with one sponsor on each section and each sponsor will only sign a deal with you for a single section.

The better you do in races the more sponsors will be available to you, see table below:
