Jamaican Racing Star Sara Misir Scores Sponsorship Deal with Red Stripe

Jamaica's racing sensation Sara Misir has captivated the motorsports world with her remarkable achievements, making her the first female Formula One driver from the Caribbean. Her journey into the world of motorsports began at a young age, and her exceptional command of the discipline has solidified her status as an emerging icon and a symbol of women's involvement in this male-dominated sport.

One of the significant milestones in Misir's career came with a groundbreaking multimillion-dollar sponsorship deal with Red Stripe, where she became their Drink and Live Responsibly ambassador. She also became an influencer for Heineken 0.0, further solidifying her status as a rising star in the racing world. These partnerships will play a crucial role in shaping Misir's 2024 season.

The announcement of Misir's sponsorship took place at Red Stripe's headquarters on Spanish Town Road, where Dianne Ashton-Smith, Red Stripe's head of corporate affairs, highlighted the significance of this partnership. The collaboration aims to promote responsible drinking, leveraging Misir's influence and star power to reach new audiences.

Ashton-Smith emphasized the importance of choosing a designated driver who abstains from alcohol, with Heineken 0.0 being the perfect alternative. The association with Misir, alongside Dutch race driver Max Verstappen's ambassadorship for Heineken 0.0 in Formula One, creates a powerful alignment at the local level.

Red Stripe, as part of the Heineken company, has been at the forefront of promoting responsible attitudes towards drink driving through initiatives like When You Drive, Never Drink and Get Home Safe. By partnering with Misir, they aim to deliver a targeted campaign that drives positive change, using the non-alcoholic option of Heineken 0.0 to convey the message of responsible choices.

Misir's achievements extend beyond her sponsorship deals. In 2022, she became the first Caribbean woman to be selected as a finalist in Formula Woman, an international championship for amateur female race car drivers held in the UK. Alongside three other talented ladies, Misir emerged as a champion, propelling her into the realm of professional racing.

Her international debut took place on June 8, 2022, in the GT Cup Championship at the Snetterton Circuit in the UK. She continued to compete in subsequent rounds, including those at Oulton Park and Silverstone. Additionally, Misir showcased her skills in domestic competitions, securing victories in multiple Jamaican Race Drivers Club (JRDC) meets at Dover Raceway. Her outstanding performance led her to clinch the 2022 championship in both the JRDC Modified Production 3 and the TS1 Classes.

Misir expresses her excitement about the partnership with Red Stripe, emphasizing the authenticity of this collaboration. She strongly believes in the importance of responsible drinking and being accountable for one's actions. Misir hopes that the campaign will resonate with her generation and future generations, fostering a culture of responsibility and safety on the roads.

As Misir gears up for her 2024 season, her highly anticipated debut will take place at the Jamaican Race Drivers Club (JRDC) Carnival of Speed at Dover Raceway in St Ann on April 1. She will also compete in other races throughout the year, including May 26, July 7, August 4, and October 21, in the Modified Production Class Four category.

Sara Misir's remarkable journey and her passion for responsible driving have made her a trailblazer in the world of motorsports. Her partnership with Red Stripe and Heineken 0.0 further amplifies her influence as she continues to inspire and set new standards for aspiring female racers.
