A proposal should have the following:
Introduction...
-explain the series
-introduce the team. resume
Benefits...
-list the benefits of being associated with your team.
-back up this information with demographics and psychographics available
from the sanctioning body.
Opportunities...
-list everthing that is available "for sale" in your team.
Appendix...
-put all your press clippings in there (get permission from magazines,
first). If you have press photos with rights, add them. 
-season schedule, etc.
If anyone wants a professional proposal done, let me know. I am starting to
do this on the side for race teams. My proposals and music videos have
served me well over the past couple years in securing sponsorship. 
Hope that didn't come off as too commercial. Shall I move this to
Classifieds?

The best way to promote Pro Rally on TV must be to entertain the audience
and we are not that audience. The people who read SpecialStage.com all
know the results anyway and are mainly tuning in to see our friends. To
attract and hold the far larger audience watching at home, the producer
has to show the fastest, most exciting cars and drivers, no matter what
class. 

To look at it another way, if the series was exclusively for Production
class cars would there be a TV series? I'm guessing there wouldn't be any
television coverage at all because while fun to drive Production cars can
be boring to watch (especially on ice). I'm not making this up. In Canada
last year our broadcaster was able to supply minute-by-minute audience
numbers that proved that as soon as the mid-80's VW's running in P3
starting getting "extensive" (ie. 3 or 4 consecutive shots) coverage, the
channels started changing. 

Production classes are great for the sport and need to be nurtured but
not as an obligation on precious national TV time. Let's remember who
these shows are really made for and cut Doug and his team a bit of slack.
