MOTOR SPORT DEVELOPMENT
A large, country-wide initiative to introduce young people to karting and to uncover potential racing stars of the future.
In 2018, China’s ASN the Federation of Automobile and Motorcycle Sports of People of China (CAMF) launched an innovative talent search for prospective young karters called the FIA Finding Talent Programme. In the first year of activity five events were held in cities across the nation. Each event consists of one day of training and two days of competition, with the training being assisted by the race directors of the Chinese Karting Championship and the Chinese Touring Car Championship. Following a successful first season, CAMF proposed to run the programme again in 2019, targeting the involvement of more than 2,000 children (with a goal of 30% female participation) in order to further develop grassroots motor sport across the country.
