Founding systems

The project starts with the systems that already exist around it. No external sponsor, manufacturer, circuit or production company is attached at this stage — the grid below is the founding ecosystem, and every other seat is open.

Philosophy

One shell, many marks

The livery is designed to evolve. Partner marks occupy defined zones on the car, and the car is photographed as it changes — the sponsorship story is part of the film's story.

No decoration

A partner is attached to a function: a system, a safeguard, a piece of the run. If a mark cannot be explained in one sentence, it does not go on the car.

Published, not promised

Results, telemetry and the split of the gains are published. In a project built on an unverifiable claim, everything else has to be verifiable.

Decided before, not after

The five shares are written down before the volunteer is selected and before a single lap is run. Nobody negotiates a percentage once they know who won.

20 / 20 / 20 / 20 / 20

One fifth to the passenger. One fifth to Gabrio Design. Three fifths out — to culture and civic life, to charitable associations, and to the research that keeps people alive or takes them further.

A partner buying a zone on the car is buying into that arithmetic, and into the fact that it is published before the run rather than justified after it.

Where the gains go

Five equal fifths

Everything the project earns is cut into five equal fifths, decided in advance and published. Not a budget line that moves with the result — a rule, written before anyone knows who is driving.

The passenger
20%

The volunteer who takes the wheel. Their fifth is fixed before the selection opens, and it does not depend on whether they beat the reference time.

Gabrio Design
20%

The studio's fifth: production, the vehicle, the safety envelope, and the next projects of the ecosystem.

Culture & civic life
20%

What a society keeps and what it defends.

  • Culture
  • History
  • Education
  • Justice
  • Democracy
  • Freedom
Charitable associations
20%

Named and published before the run, never chosen after the result is known.

Life & frontier research
20%

What keeps people alive, and what comes after.

  • Medicine
  • Mental health
  • Disability
  • Longevity
  • Agriculture
  • Livestock
  • Food
  • Pollution
  • Climate
  • Space research
  • AI
  • Technology
  • Robotics
  • Teleportation
  • Quantum

Indicative model written for the film's universe, for discussion purposes only. Fictional figures, no commitment of any kind, and no fund exists at this stage.
