Creating a young driver programme to promote racing talent, with a Formula 4 test on offer for the most successful participants. With the aim of developing regional talent and better preparing young drivers to develop their careers in motor sport, the Russian Automobile Federation (RAF) planned to create a young driver training programme for local racing talent. The programme, designed to accommodate 25 participants, would be modelled on the successful driver development programme designed and implemented by Lebanon, Jordan, and Morocco. Trainers would come from the Automobile et Touring Club du Liban. Participants would follow a wide-ranging curriculum designed to provide drivers with a range of skills needed to help develop their careers, improving competency while also taking a holistic approach to career management and development. Selected winners would also be given the opportunity to take part in an F4 test in the United Kingdom and the chance of a Renault F1 academy assessment.
