German term or phrase: Startprämie
"Für die Teilnahme an unserem Rennen bezahlen wir gerne eine Startprämie in Höhe von …… Euro."

= The amount of money which the organiser of a motorsports event offers to "big name" drivers for their participation in the race.

Normally, it's the drivers who have to pay an entry fee ("Startgeld", "Nenngeld") to be able to participate. This is the reverse.

Thanks everyone. "Fee" fits better into my sentence so I'll go for that, but I'll keep "money" in mind for next time too. Some recipients have only limited English, so I need to be extra clear.

agree  philgoddard: "Money" seems a bit blunt. "Fee" would be better.
