MINARDI MANAGEMENT

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO START AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE WITH A SUPPORT OF A MANAGEMENT FOR A YOUNG DRIVER?

After Giovanni’s opinion it’s very important for a young driver to be supported, because the motorsport is a very competitive and complicate environment and therefore knowing how to move through it taking advantage of his long years experience, knowledge and personal network can make at the end of the day the difference.
Motorsport and Formula series in particular allow only few drivers to reach the top of the success.
For sure a management isn’t a guarantee and only one part of the success, which has to be completed by the driver’s talent and capacity demonstrated on the track collecting good results.
Unfortunately talent today is not enough.
Motorsport and the step from karting to Formula is becoming more and more expensive, but nobody thinks about this when the kids are in the categories of Mini and OKJ.
Normally when the drivers arrive to the category of OK they get for the first time really confrontated with the huge costs of Formula sport and understand that they will need immediately or more ahead support to be able to approach the next step.
But at this age it’s becoming very difficult to get a young driver into a necessary Formula 1 team programme, an academy or in a private team support.

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF A MANAGEMENT?
We, as a management of young drivers already from the category of Mini on, have to work hard and start to “present” our young talents to one of these F1 team programmes, academies or also private Kart or Formula teams.
As early we find such a situation for young drivers and get explained why it’s important to invest in the driver’s future, as early the family has to support less costs by themselves.
Giovanni Minardi has the opinion that the driver should concentrate on the races and we advise him how to present on and beside the track.
We teach how to behave with the media and eventual sponsors / supporters and take care of his physical and mental fitness.

…..have a look to the whole presentation! Contact us for any information!!!

🇫🇷 - ANNEVILLE - FRENCH CHAMPIONSHIP

Positive day at the French Championship for our driver Zack Zhu. After a full day of Free Practice yesterday and a fantastic second place in qualifying, today all focus was on the heats. Zack had three heats in total, starting with a solid fifth place in the first heat this morning, followed by an excellent victory in the second heat. Unfortunately, an unfair contact by another driver in the third heat meant Zack finished fourteenth. Tomorrow, Zack will start fourth in the super manche, and he will need all our support and fingers crossed! Let’s go Zack! Keep pushing and giving it your all. We believe in you and know you have what it takes to come out on top in the super manche. Good luck tomorrow, we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way! #TeamZack 🏁👊🏆

Qualifying manche (C-D) - P5
Qualifying manche (B-D) - P1

🇮🇹 - FRANCIACORTA - WSK EURO SERIES ROUND 1

The sun was shining brightly as Achille Rea revved his engine, preparing to hit the track at Franciacorta for the WSK Euro Series Round 1. The roar of his kart filled the air as he sped down the straightaway, his focus sharp and his determination unwavering.

As he navigated the twists and turns of the circuit, his skill and precision were evident in every move he made. With each lap, Achille pushed himself to the limit, his passion for racing driving him forward with every corner he conquered. The competition was fierce, but he held his own, showcasing his talent and determination with every lap he completed.

As he reflected on the day’s events, Achille knew that he was truly in his element on the track. With the wind in his hair and the sound of the engine in his ears, he felt alive and free, ready to take on whatever challenges came his way.

And as he looked back on these beautiful pictures of him in action on track, he knew that he was meant to be a racer, destined to leave his mark on the world of motorsport. The lion had roared, and he had shown the world what he was capable of.
