Motorsport UK Academy welcomes applications for the Team UK Futures programme for both drivers and co-drivers for 2022.

The second stage of the governing body’s talent pathway, which consists of multiple programmes and equips the UK’s most promising young drivers with the knowledge, skills and attitude needed to maximise their performance, is targeted at individuals aged 15-24 in active competition within Junior and National championships.

For drivers, the first of a two-year programme will be focused around an introduction to the key principles of development within the sport, alongside performance management provided by the Academy’s expert in-house team of coaches.
