Sponsors and Advertising

I do need sponsors and advertisers to keep on going, the stupid Google ads do not bring anything to me, only to Google and I would like to take them all out.
There is a lot of interest for this site by car enthousiasts and they are a high level buying group for specialised car component companies.
Not asking for lots of money.
Just propose a price for an ad banner on any page and I' get back to you.
You are the client.

My aim is not to make money, but to preserve a little piece of history. I am now 76 years old and have to find a way that it is not lost forever when I move on upstairs.

The project aims to provide an honest educational site, a memory, interesting for young persons to access information about the origins and past events of the Grand Prix de Monaco and for older people to relive previous experiences and refresh their memories. The site is also meant as a place where motor sport enthusiasts can exchange information and add to the contents, as a living library.
The income received from sponsors and donators will be used to cover the cost of upkeep, restoring video for display and safe keeping, purchase of rights for image materials and promotion of the site to obtain more visits and expose our sponsors to a larger public.
A big chunk has been done over the last 15 years and is put together.
Lots of research, search, writing, video editing and design still needs to be done. This consumes loads of time and money. And there is were you can also help.
You can donate or sponsor in different ways:

1. Send small amounts of money to our secure PayPal account with your credit card. Any amount is received with our utmost gratitude.
2. Send us information, corrections, images, photos, videos that you have. Make sure you own the copyrights.
3. Make a link on your site and we'll make a link back. (Check our links page to see who is already on it).
4. Sponsor the site and in return be visible with your company logo with hyper link to your company/product site. Contact us for details.

The Author – Designer

Roy Hulsbergen is a multi-media designer, lived in Monaco 1984-2008 and is a Dutch national. In 1994 Roy started to write the basis for an interactive multi-media Cd Rom “The History of the Grand's Prix of Monaco”, which he produced over the period 1994-96. At the outset he had the support and authorization of the Automobile Club of Monaco and could use their archives and materials. However, these archives had been gradually depleted of image materials. A journalist here and then another there had asked for some pictures and of course they never came back. Next came the even greater challenge: only about twelve videos, of 38 race video's needed, were readily available in Monaco.
Then the search began to find some where on this globe the missing 26 videos. After long search, they were found in a number of places such as: Roma, Torino, London, New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, München, Genève, etc. Some were fine, others were heavily damaged, some had sound, some had commentary. It was tough, difficult and expensive. The same effort needed to go into the search for photos.
When it was all packaged together, programmed and published on Cd-Rom, the marketing appeared to be not so easy. In 1996 most people did not have a computer and if they had one, it did not have a Cd-rom reader.

Thus it seemed a good idea to re-develop the whole thing again for the web, before all this material gets lost and damaged forever.
And here we are 14 years down the track. A good 1,600 hours have been put into the authoring and it will need probably another 2,000 hours to complete.
We are working on it, step by step. Your help is very much appreciated.

Please help to continue and enhance this unique place on the web.
