Back the
first one.
A solar car is an unusually honest thing to put your name on. It only moves if the engineering works, and it carries your logo across eight states in front of people who care why.
WHY PARTNER
WITH RICE?
Your mark travels roughly 1,550 miles of public road and three days of track racing, in front of spectators, officials and forty other engineering programmes.
Access a network of high-performing engineers, mechanics, strategists, and so much more. Showcase your brand to the next generation of STEM excellence and connect with the people who can make your company's future.
Establish your company as a leader and cornerstone partner with Rice Motorsports Team. Be more than a logo on a car, but also a fundamental member of Rice's community driven innovation by directly supporting the next generation of Rice engineers.
What's On the Table
Every partnership is a conversation. We tailor each deal to fit your goals — from brand visibility to recruitment access to on-track activations.
Car & Suit Branding
Your logo on the bodywork of a solar race car and on team kit, at every event we attend.
Content & Media
4K track footage, social collaborations, and full access to our professional photo and video library.
Recruitment Access
Tap into Rice University's talent pipeline. Make connections with talented students that know how to succeed in the competitive world of motorsports.
VIP Race Day
Exclusive paddock access, team dinners with leadership, complimentary tickets, and — for select partners — hot laps.
Every Deal Starts With a Conversation.
We're building Rice's first solar race car and taking it to a national collegiate competition. We'd
rather grow with a few partners who find that interesting than collect logos.
Reach out and
we'll walk you through what a partnership looks like for your brand, budget, and goals.
Flexible Structures
Monetary or in-kind — we work with what makes sense for you, from tools and tires to hotel accommodations and logistics support.
Built-In Legacy
Be a founding partner of the first competitive motorsport program in Rice University history. That story doesn't go away.
Real Reach
The American Solar Challenge runs through towns and campuses across eight states, with public display days at every stage stop.
Direct Access
You're talking to the team — not an agency. Quick decisions, genuine relationships, real activation.
"Sponsors don't just get a decal. They get students who will send them a real engineering report at the end of the season, because that's the standard the competition holds us to."
