The Future Driver Search will set out to discover young drivers
throughout the world who contain the raw talent and dedication needed to
become a modern racing driver. Unlike other programs, the Future Driver
Search will judge applicants across multiple disciplines, including karting
and track time in the FJR-50. The judging panel, led by Allan McNish, will
analyze the driving style and associated skill set of each driver. Drivers
will be judged on speed, car control and mechanical knowledge. In addition,
off-track attributes will be considered, including character, strategy, media
interviews and physical/professional presentation.
"In my career, I was fortunate enough to have been given the guidance and
opportunities to show and develop my potential, and today, I strongly feel
that there are few things as important as the cultivation of the next
generation of young talent," said Allan McNish. "The Jim Russell programs
offer drivers from around the world unrivalled assets, and the tools
necessary to take the next step in their racing career."
The announcement reinforces Emotive and McNish's dedication to the
development of driving skills within the racing community. The four-day
competition begins December 19 through 22 at the Jim Russell Racing Drivers
School state-of-the-art facility at Infineon Raceway, Sonoma CA. Once
selected, the drivers will compete in the full 2010 Jim Russell Championship
Series in the Lola FJR-50 Formula 3 based race car. With the Future Driver
Search, Jim Russell continues to expand the talent pool for the Jim Russell
Championship Series with international drivers.
