Creation of a young driver training programme to advance the careers of emerging talent in the region in association with four regional ASNs.

With the aim of developing regional talent and better preparing young drivers to develop their careers in motor sport, Emirates Motorsports Organisation (EMSO) created a young driver training programme for rising stars from the Middle East. The programme, designed to accommodate 18 participants, would draw on EMSO’s experience as an FIA Regional Training Provider for Drivers and Officials. A cluster project, the programme would also involve the national sporting authorities of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Saudi Arabia. Participants would follow a wide-ranging curriculum designed to provide drivers with a range of skills needed to help develop their careers, improving their core competency in addition to focusing on career management and long-term development.
