It offers a genuine opportunity to be discovered by a major manufacturer in what is now the most important region for most major car manufacturers” remarked Team Principal, Mark Goddard. “It also allows drivers to learn their craft if they are following the F1 path. Last year our graduates were racing in F1 (Daniel Ricciardo with Toro Rosso) winning in GP3, (Marlon Stockinger), driving for the works TOM’S Toyota team (Richard Bradley) and winning in Formula Gulf (Natasha Seatter)and the Ferrari 358 Asia Challenge (Pasin Lathouras).”
