Formula BMW license courses at Valencia
Julio 14, 2008 – 12:02 am | by admin |The next generation of Formula BMW young guns is raring to go. At Valencia (ES), both Formula BMW Europe and Formula BMW Americas are holding a total of five license courses in July and August. The majority of the young talents contesting the courses in the Formula BMW Racing Center at the “Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo” come from karting. At Valencia, the best drivers born between 1990 and 1994 can qualify for scholarship courses in their respective series. The successful completion of the license course thus represents the first vital step for talents that want to qualify for the BMW Motorsport promotion scheme.
As BMW Juniors they will attend the extensive BMW Motorsport Education and Coaching Programme and will be supported financially. In 2008, this support amounts to €75,000 in Formula BMW Europe. In addition, participants in the coveted promotion programme also become part of the BMW family. Experienced instructors teach the drivers how to perfectly deal with the 140bhp FB02. The timetable features everything from driving advice regarding the correct racing line and the perfect braking spots to theoretical education on topics such as driving technique and flag lore.
Currently, there still are a small number of license course seats available. Interested teams and drivers please contact:
