What started as a dream 14 months ago, is today a reality being lived here - the first MMF/FIA Institute Performance Master class sessions for young drivers stated by MMF president Mr. Tonio Cini.

The Malta Motorsport Federation applied for a number of funds from the FIA Institute to organize a number of courses, one of which was to educate our Young Drivers in improving their approachability to the sport. The MMF applications were well received and FIA Institute approved their funding. The Kunsill Malti ghall-Isport stepped in to cover up MMF 50 % contribution – namely 25000 Euros.

Mr. Bernard Vassallo, KMS Chairman, stated that it was a pleasure for KMS to assist the MMF in this innovative project with high potential and together with FIA Institute make it possible to prepare Malta’s young drivers towards a more professional approach.

Sport, generally speaking, is not just about technique but demands sound preparation in other important factors such as psychological and physical preparation and even nutrition and anti-doping education.

The KMS Chairman augured that this course reaps good dividends in the future and will have a ripple effect across the various motorsport disciplines on the island.

MMF was working in the right direction for the progress of this locally very popular sport and Vassallo stated that KMS and even the Secretariat for Youth and Sport was always ready to assist the MMF in its visions for the future.

The Seminar was delivered by the Motor Sport Association Academy an arm of FIA and MSA UK coaches Mr James Wozencroft, a former Junior World Rally Driver Champion and FIA Institute Excellence Academy coach, and Mr Greg Symes HQ Official at the British Formula 1 GP and Wales Rally GB.

The Performance Master Class Sessions were very well received by the 19 participants who came from the various motor racing disciplines represented by the MMF.
