Grassroots Sponsorship Program

Grassroots Sponsorship Program

Explore how the Grassroots Sponsorship Program works, find answers to your most common questions, and take the first step toward joining the Linglong motorsports family.

Push the Limits. Build the Brand.

At Linglong Tire, we know that true product performance isn't just engineered in a lab—it is proven on the track. The Flash 200 and Hero tire lineups were designed for maximum lateral grip, forward bite, and durability under extreme heat cycles. Now, we are looking for dedicated grassroots drivers in the Sunbelt region to push them to the limit.

We are not just handing out free rubber; we are building a true R&D and marketing partnership. If you have a documented track schedule, a dialed-in rear-wheel-drive setup, and the ability to produce high-quality media and technical feedback, we want to support your season. Prove your consistency, and climb the sponsorship ladder from discounted allocations to full-season support.

Everything You Need to Know Before You Apply

Who is eligible to apply?

Currently, our grassroots sponsorship is exclusively open to drivers in the Sunbelt region (including Northern California, Southern California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida). To be considered, you must have:
· A rear-wheel-drive vehicle built for sanctioned track use (drifting or grip).
· A verifiable track record (proof of 3 to 5 completed track events in the past 12 months).
· A documented, confirmed 12-month future track schedule.
· Unedited in-car or trackside video footage demonstrating your driving capability.

How do the sponsorship tiers work?

Our program is built on a performance ladder:
· Tier 1: 50% Off / Buy-One-Get-One (BOGO). This is our entry-level tier for drivers to prove their reliability and content quality.
· Tier 2: Event-Allocated Free Tires.
· Tier 3: Full-Season Tire Supply.
Drivers who consistently meet all media and technical deliverables for three consecutive events are eligible to be evaluated for a tier upgrade.

If approved, will the tires be shipped to my house?

No. Linglong Tire operates through a strong network of local authorized distributors. All sponsored drivers must pick up their tire allocations in person at a designated local dealer. Direct-to-home shipping is strictly prohibited.

What are my obligations after an event?

Sponsored drivers are required to submit two things within 48 to 72 hours of completing a track event:
· Media Deliverables: A minimum of 3 high-quality, vertical social media posts per event (a paddock/prep post, a dynamic trackside action post, and a post-event wear testimonial). Purely in-car dash footage does not count toward this minimum.
· Technical Feedback: A completed telemetry form detailing cold/hot tire pressures, heat cycling data, and subjective handling feedback.

Are there branding requirements for my vehicle?

Yes. All sponsored drivers must display a mandatory Linglong windshield banner and specific Flash 200/Hero decals on all four corners of the vehicle. You must also remove any competing tire brand decals before receiving your first allocation.

What is the policy on street takeovers or illegal street racing?

Linglong Tire North America enforces a strict Zero-Tolerance Policy. Any documented involvement in illegal street racing, "takeovers," or unsanctioned street events will result in immediate termination of the sponsorship agreement. Under our Clawback Clause, terminated drivers will be held legally liable for the full retail cost of all tires provided.

How long does the application review process take?

Please allow our team 7 to 14 business days to review your application, verify your driving footage, and confirm your local dealer routing.
