ABOUT
FEED
By giving a chance to the greatest number, exclusively selected by criteria of talent and equality at a reasonable price, FEED Racing France's ambition is to provide motorsport with future champions.
The priority objective of the Challenge, in the true sense of the term, is based on original spirit of detections through pure merit regardless of origin, experience, or financial resources.
Inexpensive ways of fulfilling dreams are rare : this is why FEED Racing France wants to reconcile dreams and reality.
FEED RACING FRANCE
Feed Racing is the result of the vision of two international racing champions: Jacques Villeneuve (F1 World Champion 1997) and Patrick Lemarié (ELMS champion 2001), who have dedicated their lives to motorsport and wanted to invest personally to unveil young talent, especially those with limited financial resources.
For the price of a competition kart, young drivers can participate in a double course made of minimum 5 days to show their talent at the wheel of a Formula 4 on the selective layout of the Nevers Magny-Cours circuit.
Same chance for everybody with the same cars and same new Pirelli tyres. Only the stop watch will make the difference.
The fastest driver will be given the opportunity to race in a top team in Formula 4 and will benefit - if he or she so desires - from the expertise and career management provided by Jacques Villeneuve and Patrick Lemarié to climb the different echelons in motor sport in complete safety and become a professional racing driver.
