In 2003, the Morgan Works Race Team survived rejection by the ACO for Le Mans 2004; administration nightmares with the FIA at Donington; and a 150 mph crash in torrential rain at Spa. It also saw us finish 8th in class, splitting a field of Porsches, Ferraris and TVRs in 6 hours of seamless racing against the world’s best GT cars at the Le Mans Bugatti Circuit in November.
The Aero 8 has given a tantalising glimpse of its real capability and our mission objective – to knock Porsche from its 12 year dominance of the GT class winner’s podium at Le Mans – is clearly within reach.
In 2004, we must first compete at Sebring in the USA in March – an essential stepping stone toward the Le Mans entry – and then go to the Le Mans 24hr race itself. By sheer guts and determination, we have overcome every technical and administrative barrier that stood between us and the world’s toughest race. All we need now is funding.
The support we have enjoyed from fans and enthusiasts of true racing spirit all around the world has been simply outstanding. Keeping up with the well-funded Porsche and Ferrari teams is a tremendous challenge – and one we simply can’t meet without your support.
So, if you are in a corporate environment, or know someone who is, we have superb opportunities for high-profile sponsorship exposure on one of the world’s most photographed cars – so beloved that a French national newspaper referred to it at the Le Mans 6hr in November as “la delicieuse Morgan”. Please contact us now – you can find our details on the web site below.
For individuals and small groups who want to support our campaign, we are now inviting applications and subscriptions for the 2004 season with exactly the same benefits as our 2003 package - £1000 for Exclusive Morgan Works Partner club membership. You can find full details and a secure payment facility on the Team web site at morganworks.com
We will shortly be announcing other ways to help Morgan take on the world! Remember – you are watching a legend in the making. Thanks for being a part of it.
Best wishesDavid Dowse, Team Manager Robert Sharpe, Commercial Manager
