Global visibility
One car, one date, one experiment designed from the first sketch to be filmed and published in full.

Founding systems
The project starts with the systems that already exist around it. No external sponsor, manufacturer, circuit or production company is attached at this stage — the grid below is the founding ecosystem, and every other seat is open.

Two of the four stages are open today
The livery zones further down this page belong to a car that has not been built. They matter from stage 03 onwards. The two stages already running need something far more ordinary — and they need it now.
01
Now
GENESIS
Tools, compute and post-production for the short film. Score and sound design.
02
Next
ROAD SESSIONS
Episode sponsorship, capture equipment, guests worth an hour of road. Apparel and capsule pieces.

THE MOVIE
Co-production, financing, distribution, vehicle platform, insurance, permits, crew.

ROADSTER CHALLENGE
Circuit, timing, medical and safety, engineering, telemetry, broadcast — and the authorisations that make all of it legal.

Philosophy
One shell, many marks
The livery is designed to evolve. Partner marks occupy defined zones on the car, and the car is photographed as it changes — the sponsorship story is part of the film's story.
No decoration
A partner is attached to a function: a system, a safeguard, a piece of the run. If a mark cannot be explained in one sentence, it does not go on the car.
Published, not promised
Results, telemetry and the split of the gains are published. In a project built on an unverifiable claim, everything else has to be verifiable.
Decided before, not after
The six allocations are written down before the volunteer is selected and before a single lap is run. Nobody negotiates a percentage once they know who won.
Benefit distribution protocol
21 / 21 / 21 / 21 / 15 / 01
Every revenue the project generates is split six ways, in a fixed protocol written before the money exists: the creator, the passenger, the public system, art and culture, technology, and three percent reserved for the unknown.
A partner buying a zone on the car is buying into that arithmetic, and into the fact that it is published before the run rather than justified after it.

What a mark on this car actually buys
Artistic association
A film project with a written universe, not a logo wall. Partners appear inside the story, not beside it.
A published destination
Artists, the public system and the security work that makes results inspectable are allocation lines, not afterthoughts. A partner can read exactly where their money lands before they commit it.
A place in the story
The livery evolves with the programme, and the car is photographed as it changes. The sponsorship story is part of the film's story.

No external sponsor, manufacturer, circuit or production company is attached to the project at this stage. Founding systems are internal projects of the Gabrio Design ecosystem.
