The Giving Factory.
Laps in. Giving out.
The Society doesn't hoard the pool. At season's end, everything the paddock built by showing up becomes sponsorships for real racers, giveaways for real fans, and nights you had to be there for — and every single output goes on the public record.
One pool, funded by the season.
The Society funds a pool of $WEN as the season runs. Its size is set at the Society's discretion — never promised in advance, never a fixed number to farm against. What fills it is the same thing that fills the Lap Chart: a season of people actually showing up.
Why it exists: motorsports' money is gatekept at the top of the pyramid, and the racers who need it most see almost none of it.
the NIL college-athlete economy — weighted overwhelmingly to football & basketball.
global motorsports sponsorship — projected to more than double by 2035, and closed to students.
what a typical college race team sees from either pool. That's the gap the Factory aims at.
One pool in. Four lines out.
Two lines are claimed with laps — the Drop conversion, most dedicated first. Two are directed by the Society — the pool going straight to the racing itself. Gifts, not contracts; the cars carry the flag because the drivers want them to.
Driver sponsorships
Grants in $WEN to real drivers — seats, entries, seasons. The racers the pyramid skips are the ones the Factory finds first.
Team sponsorships
Tires, parts, entry fees, whole programs — for verified teams on the grid. Like fan backing, but from the house.
Fan giveaways
Gear, $WEN drops, and one-off prizes for the fans who banked the season. The leaderboard claims first.
VIP events
Paddock access, member nights, trackside with the Society. Top ranks get the call first — Pit Wall earns the front row.
The Drop feeds the Factory.
The mechanism is the Drop — at season's end the leaderboard claims the pool: most dedicated, first served. Laps burn when you redeem, and the ladder resets the game for the new year.
No exchange rate, ever. Laps are not a currency and never convert at a fixed price. What a lap claims depends on the season, the pool, and the board. That keeps the game about showing up — not farming.
Every lap traces to someone physically at a racetrack. That's the whole factory: presence goes in, giving comes out.
A factory has output you can see.
Every sponsorship, every giveaway, every event the Factory produces will be logged here — who, what, when, receipt public. The same rule as the grid: what you send lands where you aimed it, and everyone can check.
