ART Grand Prix and FFSA join forces

ART Grand Prix and FFSA join forces to support Kart racers from France

ART Grand Prix and FFSA, Fédération Française du Sport Automobile, has started a co-operation aimed at the growth and support of young kart racers from France. The project includes a wide range of activities ranging from everything on-track to all the aspects needed to be taken care of, in order to the develop an highly- professional racecar driver.

ART Grand Prix directly joined the karting ranks as a constructor this season and will provide FFSA as well as the youngsters with the Team’s experience developed through a long and winning open-wheel stint.

The goal of the « 10-15 Program », launched in 2009 by FFSA, is to guide young kart racers through one of the toughest phases of their career. The project will feature a long analysis thanks to the Auto Sport Academy’s activity, which includes specific physical, technical, psychological and nutrition training. On-track, the kart racers will be followed by a work group that will monitor and guide them through the weekends.

ART Grand Prix is one of the partners selected by FFSA to prepare their young candidates, both as a go-kart racing team and as a well-established way to help them start their open-wheel career.

« Art Grand Prix is not only enthusiastic about co-operating with French Federation, but also proud to contribute to the growth of a new generation of highly-talented French drivers. We will provide them with an engineer to explain them the importance of data analysis and ART Grand Prix Team Manager Tony Lavanant, who also had a wide experience in go-kart racing, will also be available for advice. This project for ART Grand Prix is a great opportunity to get in touch and know some great young drivers with whom we can establish long-term relationships like happened with Jules Bianchi, who entered the Equipe de France FFSA program some time ago ».
