The RWITC packages and markets the sport as lifestyle events for sponsorship. The events are widely publicized in the media and across all in racing centres throughout India.

The cost of a sponsorship association is variable and is usually tailored to suit individual requirements.

The Club provides its lawns either in the Members' Enclosure or First Enclosure free, depending on the value of sponsorship. The Club will also host a press meet (with lunch) on the sponsors' behalf. In addition, a mailer could be sent to all our members (over 7,500) to announce the event, in addition to promoting the race on our new dynamic website. The Members database will be provided to sponsors which can help in identifying members who could be invited for an exclusive event. Press Releases will be issued by the Club.
