1 2017 FORMULA FORD SPONSORSHIP PROPOSAL FOR WESLEY VOSLOO RACING 1 P a g e

2 MY RACING CAREER IN MY OWN WORDS Although starting relatively late at the age of 13 and only racing for 4 years, it has been the best journey of my life. Winning the LG Formula 1 competition and going to watch my hero, Michael Schumacher live, reassured the idea in my head that this is what I will do for the rest of my life. I have currently been out of racing for 2 years and have learned more than I could have ever imagined. In the sense of how to approach everything when I start racing again. As the saying goes after rain comes sun. Next year will be the beginning of my journey to Formula 1 again. Today ( ) I tested a Formula Ford, never having driven a car like this around a track I have never been to. Within 2 sessions I was on it and set the fastest time for this car to ever have been around there ( Red Star). I guess, well actually I know, all the lessons I have learned have been due to the experience that I gained and accumulated from when I raced karts. Competing against competitors for 4 years with 3 to even sometimes 10 times less budget than them and still managing to beat many of them. I have had my break and now into the big cars where you can t make it or let alone race without sponsors or your dad s big wallet. I will take it day by day, step by step, but one thing I know is certain, is if I get given the opportunity I know I will be the next Formula 1 driver from South Africa, and bring a race back home within the time frame of the next 3 years. Unfortunately, this all doesn t paint the real picture of me, but in my head, after being away from it all I know what my purpose is and more. Not just with my racing, but what I will do with my success of racing 2 P a g e
