Teams
Competing as a team in the ArcaBoard World Championship brings worldwide recognition and financial benefits
Number of teams
There are only 12 vehicles competing in the first ABWC season under 12 private management teams.
Each team will have a distinct pilot lineup (main pilot and the reserve pilot) and will be required to field during each race the ArcaBoard vehicle registered at the start of the Championship.
Beside the 12 competing teams, there will be two factory teams acting as reserves on the grid.
Benefits for the teams
The ArcaBoard World Championship is structured to allow teams to:
- compete at the highest sporting level;
- receive worldwide recognition for their achievements;
- attract sponsorship and partnership deals;
- ensure the financial success of the Team Principal, pilots and all team members.
A portion of the championship's revenues, derived from broadcasting rights, will be shared with the teams based on their performance.
Teams are encouraged to enter into sponsorship agreements to cover the costs of travel and accommodation to the Cosmobase, as well as bonuses for team members and other activities associated with participating in the championship.
Participating teams will be allowed to place partner's branding on their vehicles according to their sponsorship agreements.
Teams may sell clothing, accessories and other merchandise bearing their brand.
Where possible, organizers will cover travel and accommodation costs depending on local sponsorship agreements, as our mission is to help teams reduce costs.
Team Principal Application
The application for the Team Principal position who can register a factory-supported team, can be submitted at any time up to 12 months before the Championship starts. The sooner a team registers, the more likely they are to secure a place, as applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
