Driver Academies
Hello I am an aspiring driver looking for some email address for any F1 team's driver Academies or any email addresses that could help me get to the people in charge of the program. Also what are all of the academies you know of?

That's a good one...
If ur belgian, we have a program, from Renault F1... search the web (google) for RACB Formula Renault Academy... If succesful, you can get into the RDD ( driver develoment) from the renault F1 team, and join the likes of Alonso... |

LOL, F1 school!
"Well done bradenc, you passed with 95% take your seat next to JPM, Mr Invader, a good effort enjoy your time with BAR and I see your back again Mr Verstappen, must try harder - minardi. Soory to take the 91$$, but seriously have you raced yet? If not I'd find some money, and go and drive single seaters in a club enviroment before i considered contacting ANY pro teams, let alone F1. You'll enjoy itand you'll soon find out if you are good enough to win. |

You need to make a move into single seaters and start winning as well as getting a good management team!

So we can assume you have some talent, you just need a budget. sound familiar. Then you can get racing, my problem is I have a tiny budget and even less talent.
Can anyone recall the MSA route to the top, is it FFZetec, FRenault then F3? Sorry if i was a little flippant/derrogatry, in the UK scholarships and aid to sports ppl are not freely available. Even to the most talented. What is ICA? Have you got into cars yet? |

ICA is a step below FA, it is a reed engine that uses a 24mm butterfly carb and has around 30 hp. I have tested a Formula Renault 1600.

There is a scheme near me, but to get into it you have to a hooligan and steal lots of cars and keep getting caught. The local council then thinks you are underpriviledged and send you to a workshop where you can build and race cars. If you are a normal honest person you will get
 all but good luck anyway

A life of crime or reality tv may be your only chance!

You need money, lots and lots of it, because there isn't much point bothering with single seaters unless you're in a good team (don't think otherwise - it doesn't happen)
FF Zetec £100k FRenault £150k F3 £300k F3000 £450k Thats a million quid - if you only spend a year in each class, good luck.. . |
