CREATING THE GT STARS OF TOMORROW
The FF Corse GT Driver Academy, in association with Grand Prix Racewear and iZone, provides an excellent foundation for young drivers looking to make a professional career in motorsport.
Each year, we select a limited number of talented young drivers who are interested in understanding more about the options for race drivers in the world of Ferrari GT Racing, and about developing a career path.
The Academy participants are carefully selected by our panel of experts, comprising current and former racers, including Ferrari Challenge World Final Winner, Tom Fleming, who graduated from the Academy in 2022.
The selected Academy drivers receive help and advice throughout the year, and they are eligible for special discounts and prizes from Grand Prix Racewear and iZone.
It is free to join and participate in the FF Corse GT Driver Academy, and at the end of the year, drivers are offered the opportunity to test a Ferrari Challenge car on track, (subject to age, licence and insurance conditions).
