The New Zealand SpeedSport Scholarship
Program_ |
|
The NZ SpeedSport Scholarship programme is now
THE most successful programme for young driver development in New
Zealand.
The annual SpeedSport Scholarship provides the winner with a two
year entry programme into single-seater racing.
The first season is a fully funded drive in the New Zealand Formula
First championship with the championship winning Sabre Motorsport
team.
In the second year (optional), the scholarship winner is invited back, with the
assistance of our ‘Friends of the Scholarship’ programme, to have a
second season in the Formula First national series. The second year
involves activities such as sponsorship training, PR and media,
physical and mental fitness - activities outside the race car that
are vital to the growth and development of these young sports stars.

Nick Cassidy.
