In April this year, I was invited to join the YRDA (Young Racing Drivers Academy). The academy is based at Arden Motorsports and is run by Jamie Horner.
Simulator Training
The YRDA offers me simulator training in their state of the art simulator. I get a day to myself where the team and I can focus on learning new tracks and developing my driving technique. The man behind the scene is Steve Hutchinson. Steve is a highly experienced driver/coach who not only works for Arden but Red Bull Racing, Mercedes AMG F1 and Alpine. The coaching is extremely in depth and the attention to detail is at its finest, without it, it wouldn't be the same.
Quote from social media
"Joining the YRDA has allowed me to not only improve and work on race craft in their state of the art simulator, but to also meet and connect to many people within the sport. The program helps one progress in their motorsport career and can open up an array of opportunities."
