HOW TO GET STARTED
Super Formula 1000 marks the decisive stage in the Giokart Academy’s training course.
A bridge between elite karting and the world of formula, designed for young talents who want to experience first-hand the adrenaline and complexity of driving a racing car with over 200 horsepower and a 6-speed sequential transmission.
A fundamental step to begin to understand the set-up with suspension and aerodynamics with the rear and front wing. In short, it will be a whole new challenge for the kart driver.
THE RACING COURSE
It will consist of several events for a group of up to four under-18 pilots, which may include, depending on the objective of the individual pilot:
On-track programme: a calendar of official tests at the various racetracks;
Coaching: physical, technical and mental support;
Marketing & Management: media and personal promotion activities, sponsorship management, promotional activities on the track;
Scouting opportunities: for SuperF1000, Formula 4, Tourism, GT and Legend Cars championships.
Thanks to the collaboration with Team Battaglia and the technical support of Super Formula 1000 technicians, our drivers will have access to an exclusive programme combining advanced training, official testing and individual coaching, in a professional and highly qualified environment.
DEBUTING IN A REAL RACE
Normally, after attending the RACING course, it is proposed to take part in a first race on the track.
A few days before the real racing debut, drivers will be able to take part in a final session of the course that provides specific preparation for the first race of a lifetime, simulating each stage.
The Activities
Technical
Preparations
Each driver will learn the basics of set-up, telemetry, aerodynamics and handling.
The work with our engineers will be fundamental in order for the driver to understand every aspect of the car.
All this in a constructive and preparatory team atmosphere for the first kilometres at the wheel of a formula.
Mental and
Physical Coaching
Speed is nothing without control, says a famous advertisement.
This is the reason why we advise and organise sessions on athletic preparation, mental simulation and pre-competition stress management.
Of course, the coaching is carried out by professionals in the field, with external collaborators supporting the pilot.
Track
Sessions
Drivers will participate in training tests at selected Italian circuits, including Varano de' Melegari, the main base for Super Formula 1000 activities.
Each track outing is supervised by experienced instructors, former drivers and technicians.
You can choose to participate in a single test day or in a more extensive training course.
Performance
Analysis
After each session, engineers will analyse data, videos and telemetry to develop and improve driving style and sharpen awareness of one's driving skills and strategy in various situations. Every detail is discussed and shared by the team, together with the driver to build a solid and growing performance.
