Short on time? This is the at-a-glance version of money in SRX: The Game career: which sponsor is worth the most for your season, which sponsor goal to pick and where the money goes. Every sponsor card and condition is in the complete Sponsors, goals and discounts chapter.
Edelbrock if you can reach Top 15 at Showcase 4 · otherwise Eibach for short seasons, Racing Optics for the full 27 races
Which sponsor for your season
| Sponsor | Showcase objective | Worth over 14 races | Best when | 10% discount on |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Edelbrock | Top 15 at Showcase 4 | $88,400 | Always, if you qualify | EFT |
| Eibach | Top 30 at Showcase 3 | $68,800 | 7–26 races (huge $46,400 signing bonus) | Formax |
| Racing Optics | Top 45 at Showcase 2 | $49,200 | 27-race Regulation season, where it passes Eibach | Sons of America Auto Parts |
| LakeSide Media | Top 60 at Showcase 1 | $35,200 | Only if nothing else is available | Extra Value |
Worth = signing bonus + 14 × advertised race payout, as a projection. These contracts go in the next-season sponsor area, so plan the Showcase result one season ahead.
Which sponsor goal to pick
| If you usually finish… | Pick | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Top 22 or better | Challenging (2 × Top 22 in 3 races) | $4,320 |
| Around 25th–30th | Normal (2 × Top 30 in 3 races) | $1,440 |
| Outside the top 30 | Easy (2 × Top 40 in 3 races) | $480 |
Challenging pays three times Normal, but only if two Top 22 finishes in three races are realistic with your current car.
Where the money goes
| Cost | Amount |
|---|---|
| Facility Level 1 + 2 + 3 | $1,000 + $5,000 + $20,000 = $26,000 |
| Repairs after one race (Full Damage) | $317–$364 |
| Cheapest real upgrade (Performance H-20 tires) | $750 |
Race earnings are credited before the repair decision, so you don’t need a cash reserve just for repairs. Keep your cash for the facility or the next part.
Check the brand before you buy
The 10% sponsor discount applies to one brand only, not to a part category. With Racing Optics, a $3,750 Sons of America tire set costs $3,375, while other brands stay at full price. Before upgrading, check which brand your sponsor discounts.
The sponsors chapter, what to upgrade first and the full SRX: The Game Career Guide cover every contract, part and facility.
