Jacques Villeneuve launches the Feed Racing France driving academy
Jacques Villeneuve and Patrick Lemarié have decided to create Feed Racing France together with the goal of identifying future top drivers.
In order to promote motor racing more equitably to people of more modest means than current motor sports allow, Jacques Villeneuve and Patrick Lemarié decided to jointly create Feed Racing France, an academy for young drivers whose motto is to recruit based solely on talent.
Even though you still have to pay 11,500 € to participate in the 5-day courses, it remains well below the standard entry fees for Formula 4, which are normally around 300,000 €. In addition to offering lower fees than the competition, Feed Racing allows the most talented to race in a Formula 4 championship to possibly be spotted by a program and, who knows, be propelled into Formula 1.
The other key aspect for Jacques Villeneuve and Patrick Lemarié is fairness. Indeed, all the single-seaters will be Mygale Formula 4s. All drivers will also have the same tires and equipment.
If the primary target of Feed Racing is young French talents, with a base on the Magny Cours circuit, the young structure does not forget the rest of the globe and plans to expand internationally as well.
