Audi has announced a new driver development programme to scout and nurture young talent ahead of its 2026 Formula 1 debut as a works team. The initiative, overseen by former F1 driver Allan McNish, aims to build a pathway from karting to the top tier of motorsport. This move aligns with Audi's five-year plan to contend for the world championship by 2030.
Motorsport UK and the British Racing Drivers’ Club are merging their driver development programmes into a single national academy. The new BRDC Driver Academy powered by Motorsport UK will launch in 2027.
