First time I have caught this post...
Normal commission rate for motorsport sponsorship is only 21%. You are psobably whistling in the wind trying to get anything from this part of the world. Look at the history of Formula A and the relationship with Bernie Ecclestone over the years and you will realise they are only interested in locally grown talent.
A weekend spent at either the Dubai Autodrome or the Bahrain Grand Prix Circuit will indicate the popularity of live motorsport. A club meet with a round of the International GM V8 Lumina Challenge at Bahrain attracted a staggering audience...of 8 people!
And they were American tourists who had got lost!
Best of luck!

The companies sponsoring foreign motorsports, such as Emirates or Mubadala, are all partially government companies. I can bet you they sponsor these foreign teams on the whims of some top official who wants to jump on the bandwagon of international publicity, and could care less about sports they've never heard of. The man on the street here doesn't even know what LeMans is, so those government officials won't either, even if you can reach the right people.

What you need is some local guy, with a last name like Al Tayer, Al Rostamani, Bin Hendi or something like that on your team... give them a car, a racing suit, and the odd gig... and you'll have all the funding you ever wanted.
