TheFIA Institute Young Driver Excellence Academy was a programme founded by theFIA Institute for Motor Sport Safety and Sustainability to develop young driver talent worldwide.
In its first year (2011) the Institute selected 12 drivers to take part in the programme.[1] 19 drivers were shortlisted for a three-day selection event, which took place on 6–8 February 2011 inMelk,Austria.
For 2012, the FIA shortlisted 30 young drivers, of whom 18 were selected for the second year of the programme.[2][3]
In 2013, selection events were held across five continents with the winners from each event joining five chosen wildcards to form a ten driver academy.
The participants were trained by professional racing and rally driversAlexander Wurz andRobert Reid, with workshops taking place throughout the year.[4]
The program ended in 2015.
