Following 2018’s successful creation of a grassroots e-karting programme which was shown to have increased interest in motor racing among school-aged children, the Automobil Clubul Roman (ACR) planned to develop an e-karting centre aimed at improving access to motor sport for young people in Romania. The centre would focus on the 7-12-year-old age group, and would serve as an accessible entry point to motor sport. Having previously put its trainers through a Train the Trainer programme run by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport, ACR would use its own trainers at the facility. The e-karting centre would accommodate 60 karters and 20 officials, and would assist in strengthening grassroots motor sport across Romania while directly engaging the next generation of fans and driving talent.
