[stiff flicker]

TLDR:

Fund Igor Mandic & his co-driver Albert Ivančić for 1.62ETH (2755 Euro) to compete at this year's WRC Croatia (20.04 - 23.04) and start positioning GnarsDAO within the Extreme Automotive World.

Dear GnarsDAO, my name is Josip Vlah and I am a fellow GnarsDAO member from Croatia.
Some of you might know me from different events we have attended together.

Last year WRC attracted more than 600k+ people to the country with more than 100m consecutive viewers on TV from 150 different countries.

This is the official page from the WRC Croatia
https://rally-croatia.com/en/

What is this proposal about?
This proposal serves a purpose to fund Igor mandic and the team to compete at this years WRC

What will GnarsDAO recieve from this proposal?

• GnarsDAO logo visible fully on the car itself (Front, back, side, roof)

• GnarsDAO Beach flags visible on the support area.

• Social Media Content (Covered fully by myself and the RZLT team, this will be done on our side pro-bono)

• Igor and the team will be fully onboarded onto the gnarsDAO ecosystem after the WRC (Currently they are fully focused in practice for the event itself)

How will this benefit GnarsDAO?

Through this activation GnarsDAO will start to position itself within new forms of Extreme sports (Automotive) and capture world-wide recognition on-site as well as for the future-based activations.

Proliferation of GnarsDAO throughout the WRC Croatia and potential acquisition of new Members and Athletes onto the GnarsDAO.

I see snow! I see this is extreme, great deliverables too.. do you have some videos from previous gnarly shenanigans ?

[stiff flicker]

In terms of Igor and the Rally aspect, here are some gnarly shenanigans:

These are mostly local rallies (Championship of croatia etc..)

In terms of myself (Josip) I was never as good in gnarly stuff but I loved filming it, so here's couple of the films from me and the friends (Matija, friend from the videos is Croatias Best In-Line)

This is very cool, but I will be voting no on this prop. This doesn't fall under "the artistry of extreme athletes" for me. My baseline for what defines an extreme athlete is "human powered". Maybe you could have some luck with this in Nouns Proper, as I feel this better lands with their publicity and or maybe Nouns On The Ground. This is more in line with a Parade Float than a kickflip

[whole tundra]

Yeah I agree on this argument

[stiff flicker]

Thank you for the feedback!

I completely see your point, especially in terms of the fact that Gnars has mostly been focused and really successful in Skateboarding, inline etc.. but also I personally think that extreme athletes as a artistry goes hand in hand with the motorsport world (From F1, WRC on the high level to AMA Motocross) Since at the end of the day human is powering it (g forces etc..) and the car / bike etc.. is only here as a secondary tool

[deft trout]

Cool stuff. I'm leaning towards @true mica on this one though. Also, from my perspective of being familiar with NASCAR (and not WRC) the proposed logos on the car look very small. And no Gnar glasses? Are these limited by size in WRC?

[stiff flicker]

Thank you ser, in terms of the logos these are the applicable sizes set by WRC and I put them in the proposal in case we cannot make them bigger due to limitations. Photo above shows what I wish to achieve in terms of the sizing but we don't know if its going to be applicable, hence I did not put it in a proposal.

in terms of the glasses, the main aspect for me was to get the name out and the taught process is for people to start and recognize gnars, go on the website and learn more about our community, join and proliferate further.
