CROATIAN AUTOMOBILE & KARTING FEDERATION (CAKF)
This year the Croatian Automobile & Karting Federation (CAKF) sought to continue its Young Driver Training Programme. The initiative was launched in 2018 with the aim of improving the skill level of young drivers through training across a range of topics targeted towards boosting their career in motor sport. In the first year of the scheme 50 youngsters participated in the programme and in 2019 a further 50 drivers would participate in the initiative. An interesting aspect of the programme is that drivers identified as potential future trainers themselves are afforded an opportunity to further develop their skills at Croatia’s Olympic Academy. Participants are also encouraged to become Road Safety Ambassadors.
