To become a driver: training

THEMATIC CONFERENCES AND OFFICIAL TRAINING SESSIONS

During the season, two gatherings of thematic conferences with one official training session on the Bugatti circuit of Le Mans, will be organised:

- Training session n°1 over 5 days: week 9/2012: from February 27 to March 2nd 2012
- Training session n°2 over 5 days: week 12/2012: from March 19 to 23 2012

The sessions are supervised by professional instructors. The drivers can benefit of a progressive and adapted training: technique (trajectories, braking, heel and toe…), corner by corner study with live debriefing or after each series, data acquisition debriefing after driving sessions.

The conferences allow the drivers to acquire a better knowledge of motorsports environment and to acquire the needs and qualities that are necessary to progress at a very high level. For this purpose many subjects are approached: sports regulations, the analysis of data acquisitions, optimisation of the engine / gearbox functioning, tyres, aerodynamics, dietetics of the driver, prevention in drug-use, etc… Media-training is also part of the program. This allows drivers to feel at ease in front of the various media and to know how to communicate efficiently. Physical and medical tests are also programmed.

New since 2011! Specific training programmes will be designed like ‘Sponsorship and corporate patronage’ ; ‘Taxation and Company Law’ ; ‘Dietetics and healthy lifestyle of the sportsman’ ; ‘Managing Stress’… They will also be open to all licence-holders and motor sport enthusiasts!

THE « PÔLE ESPOIRS » (HIGHLY POTENTIAL DRIVERS PROGRAM)

Studies are not forgotten within the training as thanks to the Lycée Le Mans Sud (High School) in general and mostly thanks to the « Pôle Espoirs », young French and foreign drivers benefit of a specific scholar supervision adapted to their scholarship.
