V1 Racer: become a real racer
What is V1?
V1 is a series of online and real world processes, tests and events designed to locate, fund and nurture future motor racing champions.
Do I have to pay V1 any money to enter?
No.
How does V1 find its drivers?
V1 and its partners will collect and analyse online qualifying/racing and psychometric data. The potential racing drivers will then be tested (in the real world) for a range of physical and psychological attributes V1 considers fitting the profile of a winning racing driver.
What does the winner get?
Once all online and real world data has been analysed by V1 partners and the winner/s have be identified, a tailored training, test and race contract between V1championship Ltd and the winner/s of the V1 racing driver selection process will be formulated and agreed.
What sort of agreements will be in the contract?
Financial
Performance
Safety
Parental
What will the winner be training, testing or racing in?
Depending on age, attributes and experience of the winner, he/she will enter one or more of the following championship/driver programmes:
British Karts
The Racing Steps Foundation
Formula BMW
What do I have to do to win?
Register online with V1 championship and
download the simulator. Practice, qualify and race online. V1 will collect your driving data and filter those results through analysing tools that automatically generate entrants (not strictly in order of the fastest) to progress to the psychometric profiling stage. Once you have passed the online phases you will have a series of real world physical and psychological tests after which you will be evaluated in a range of vehicles. The winners of these final driving tests will secure themselves a place in one of the above championships/programmes.
When can I start racing?
Now. You can start the free practice races online as soon as you
download the simulator.
