Creating a multi-level driver training programme to raise the standard of competency across the motor sport spectrum.
The Royal Automobile Club of Norway (KNA) launched a driver training programme in 2015 and over the years has continued to progress and expand the programme, adding a ‘Girls with Speed’ element in 2016, catering for 150 participants in 2017 and more than 700 entry-level participants in 2018. The KNA proposed to continue the highly successful programme in 2019, further expanding involvement to cater for 900 participants at entry level and 30 elite participants. The ultimate aim of the activity is to improve the competency levels of young drivers at all levels and increase their awareness of the importance of physical fitness, nutrition, mental coaching, technical understanding, media relations and safety.
