South Africa

Launching a wide-ranging and innovative e-gaming project to encourage youth engagement with motor sport in a low-cost environment.

With the aim of attracting new participants to the world of motor sports at grassroots level and identifying future talent, Motorsport South Africa (MSA) developed a nationwide e-gaming project. Based across 12 locations, and with a target of 200 participants per site, the e-gaming project would benefit from the ASN’s experience as an FIA Regional Training Provider for Officials and Drivers, with past learnings being applied to the design of the gaming project, giving participants an entertaining active educational environment. Following completion of the programme, the most successful participants from around the country would be given the opportunity to take part in MSA’s existing talent search programmes and associated training and development.
