Sponsors, in preview

Where it lives: The Car Shows header and each show’s header band — above the class list, never on an entry card.

Why it exists: Real concours carry a presenting name on the program. The plaque is the show’s front door; the field below it stays pure.

Where it lives: Under one class heading on the show page — the threshold of the class, never inside an entry.

Why it exists: Class presenting is how real shows are underwritten, class by class. One presenter per class per show.

Where it lives: Above a HOUSE example room, museum-style — the wing signage over the doorway.

Why it exists: Museums name wings. House rooms only in this phase: a player’s own room is never sponsored without their explicit opt-in.

Where it lives: At the threshold of the collection’s card on the starter shelf — outside the card, which carries Marks.

Why it exists: A curated set can carry a presenter’s name. The sponsor never picks the cars, their order, or their prices — the Mark prices them.

Where it lives: The standings header band and the league’s share preview — the credit names the season, never a player or a number.

Why it exists: The local tier: a commissioner’s town business presents the season, and the name rides every standings card the league shares.

Where it lives: One line in the morning report, in its own band between the greeting and the portfolio — never inside a data section, never in a personal alert.

Why it exists: A newsletter’s presenting line, set apart typographically. One line, in the report, or nothing.

Where it lives: Two placements, both thresholds: the Drives atlas header (presented by an experience-days company — the people who put you in a dream car for a day) and the header of a HOUSE canon drive page, above the lead (presented by a driving-tours company — the people who run the rally down that road). Never on a player’s own drive page without their opt-in, never in the stops (100% organic forever), never beside the paired car’s Mark.

Why it exists: A sponsor may present a great road; it may never buy a café on it. A stop is testimony, and testimony is not for sale.

Where it lives: Reserved for a future board that browses dream-car experience days and driving tours & rallies the way the atlas browses roads.

Why it exists: The category deserves its own shelf eventually; until it exists, its preview presence rides the Drives placements above — presence first, inventory later.

The slot is designed and documented in the register now; its first credit arrives with the feature.

Where it lives: The Events board header (“This weekend, presented by —”) — never on a host’s own event page or in a lineup.

Why it exists: The regional tier: a business the drivers on that board could actually drive to presents their weekend.
