you take a spot.
When does the auction end?+
There is no date-based countdown. The auction locks the instant approved leading bids total $80,000. Until then, every open or claimed spot can receive a qualifying bid.
How do deposits and final payment work?+
Stripe charges 20% when a bid is placed and securely saves the card for settlement. If the bid loses or is outbid, PROJECT 997 automatically initiates a full deposit refund. Winners are charged the remaining 80% when Marcel finalizes the auction; a bank may still require cardholder authentication.
What does “constant photos” mean?+
Frequent proof throughout the five-year term: city arrivals, parks, public locations, meaningful road-trip stops, and car events. The published journal will never expose Marcel's live location.
What is the Founding Lap?+
After the auction is funded and the complete livery is installed, Marcel will drive the finished 997 on one coordinated road trip to visit every winning sponsor. Each stop includes an arrival shoot, a 997-second company story, reusable media, and a permanent entry in the public roadbook.
Which sponsor locations qualify?+
A winning sponsor may host its stop at a mutually agreed headquarters, studio, workshop, storefront, or public location in the United States or Canada. Sponsors elsewhere may nominate an eligible North American location or arrange an alternate documented feature. Visits depend on safe access, legal entry, road conditions, and reasonable scheduling.
What if one company wins several placements?+
The Founding Lap guarantees one coordinated destination and story per winning sponsor, not one duplicate visit for every placement. Every winning placement will still be shown and documented during that sponsor's stop.
What happens if the car needs repairs?+
Normal short maintenance does not change the term. If the car is unavailable for more than 30 consecutive days, the sponsor clock pauses until it returns.
Can any company bid?+
Every sponsor and creative is reviewed. Illegal products, hate, explicit content, political campaigning, direct competitors to an exclusive title partner, and designs that compromise road safety may be rejected.
Are impressions or sales guaranteed?+
No. PROJECT 997 guarantees the placement, its upkeep, ongoing documentation, annual media, and sponsor page—not a fabricated view or revenue number.
Is this affiliated with Porsche?+
No. PROJECT 997 is an independent sponsorship campaign and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Porsche AG.
