    The Formula

    Dating back to the glory days of Brabham, Bond and the halcyon days of Catalina, Amaroo and the Bathurst 1000, the development of a best-in-class motorsport race academy has been in our DNA and remains a core strategic platform of the Australian Racing Drivers’ Club.

    While identifying and nurturing the next generation of podium-level drivers and riders is forefront, the Academy will also look to embrace all facets of motorsport careers including mechanical and engineering, team support, data specialists and officials.

    FORMULA PATHWAY

    The ARDC Race Academy Formula Pathway program is a unique two-day program is especially designed to assist emerging racing drivers progress from top-tier karting to the rigors of adrenaline-charged Formula 4 racing, and hopefully beyond.
    With the re-introduction of the Australian Formula 4 Championship (with the exact same vehicle as used in Europe), the aim is to funnel the best Australian and New Zealand talent through the local championship before they potentially head to Europe or the US. Young male and female talent can spend a season here in Australia racing locally, be back home on a Sunday night and continue schooling on a Monday. There is nothing like this in Australia!
    Unlike a typical ‘come and try” style event, the Formula Pathway program expertly delivered by AGI Sport and Focus has been uniquely crafted as an intensive two-day hands-on classroom and circuit course, to better prepare drivers for what lies ahead. The Formula Pathway program will allow State and National level Karter’s to come and experience a Formula 4 vehicle for the first time here at Sydney Motorsport Park. The course is suitable for experienced top-level karters aged from 14 years to 18 years of age.
