The programme
How a year works
Each year begins in March with about five new students. Four times a year they come to Modena for a residency block of one to two weeks. In between, they race, train at home, and check in with us once a month.

At Modena
Inside a residency block
-
Seat time
Sessions on the kart circuit and, for the F4 drivers, the main circuit. Short runs with a purpose, then back to the garage to look at them.
-
Data-and-spanner
Time in the workshop with the mechanics: read the lap, then find the reason for it on the car.
-
The sim suite
New circuits learned before they are driven, and one corner repeated until it is understood.
-
The classroom
Telemetry review in the instruction room, on tablets and the big screens, and time on the g-force rig.
-
Performance education
Nutrition, reaction training and injury prevention, from the syllabus every student keeps. Performance education.
Between blocks
The rest of the season
-
Monthly check-ins
A video call each month between blocks: what happened at the last race, what the data says, what the student is working on at home.
-
Competition support
We cover travel to the events that matter in each student’s season, and send a coach or mechanic when it helps.
-
Assessment
Sessions in front of established academy coaches, so each student gets an outside view of where they stand.
What we cover
Families are not asked to pay
A place on the programme covers the costs that usually decide who keeps racing. We would rather a family spend its energy on the season than on the bill.
At the end of the year, each student leaves with a plan for the next season, agreed with their family: a step up with a partner team, a full season in their current category with travel support, or a second year with us.
