As a new team, you have been given a start-up fund of 100 PITCOIN (PC) to put towards project costs, which will start you off but won’t be enough on its own. You’ll need to raise more PITCOIN through gaining sponsorship and will have the opportunity to present your team to potential sponsors to gain their support for your team and earn vital PITCOIN to put towards the cost of manufacturing your car and producing team uniforms etc. Think carefully about how you can convince a sponsor that they should pay to put their logo on your car and team uniform …
