RACE MANAGEMENT

22 22

Accelerate Driver Development (ADD) is an initiative created to set some of the most talented young racing drivers on the road to the top in motorsport.

What makes ADD stand out is that the drivers, hand-picked by some of the most astute talent scouts in the motorsport world, already have impressive track records in the lower formulae.

ADD's current drivers are racing at different levels and in different categories so as to avoid any conflict of interest, for example Luke Davenport is pursuing his route to the top in sports cars whereas Australian driver Kent Cross is following in Mark Webber's single seater wheel tracks to F1.

Jon Lancaster is already experienced in high powered single seaters and is planning to do GP2 in 2012 and Adrian Campfield is expected to compete overseas after a successful season in Germany in ADAC Formula Masters. Dominic Pettit will follow the touring car route after a successful four years with Ginetta.

ADD is now looking for two more drivers to complete the stable, a young up and coming driver in karting and a driver competing overseas as we have a number of International sponsors we are currently negotiating with.

The Concept

Accelerate Driver Development was set up in 2009 by three motor sport experts to select a handful of the most talented young drivers and direct each one to the top of the motor sport ladder.

Motor sport in recent years has become a minefield as well as a multi-national business. Thousands of talented race drivers exist across the Globe and the only ones who make it are those who have strong financial sponsor support and effective management. Accelerate Driver Development helps young drivers to achieve their potential through:

  • Driver coaching
  • Personal sponsor acquisition
  • Personality development
  • Public relations
  • Website management
  • Sponsor relations
  • Public speaking
  • Fitness & training programmes
  • Team negotiations
  • Legal & contract issues
  • Budget & financial management
