FF Corse GT Driver Academy
2025 Applications Now Open
Applications for the 2025 GT Driver Academy are now open which is free to enter, and has no ongoing costs for those selected to be a part of the programme.
2024 members received benefits such as simulator time and mentoring from iZone Performance, media training from Louise Goodman, fitness assessments from Gridshark Atheltic Performance, special discounts from Grand Prix Racewear, GT Driver Academy team kit, continual support and advice from the FF Corse management team and finally, an end of season ride or drive (for those old enough) in one of our Ferrari race cars at Silverstone. The selection process will be conducted by a panel of judges from the FF Corse management team and industry experts.
This is very much about discovering and nurturing the GT racing stars of tomorrow, and GT3 racing in particular has become a very interesting category, both commercially and from an engineering/sporting point of view. We want to help drivers gain a foothold by becoming involved early and shaping their careers.
The Academy is open to drivers of all ages and disciplines, with no predetermined criteria. Enter now!
