French International Shootout Program

As some of our drivers were registered to participate in a French F4 Shootout at Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, we have set up a specific support program. For almost a year we have organized specific courses for our drivers, including:

F4 driving at the Circuit du Var with professional coaches,

Specific workshops to work on each driver weaknesses​

Simulator to learn Magny-Cours track and improve lap times,​

Elaboration of a qualifying strategy,​

A day of driving in F4 at Magny-Cours, on the track used for the selection.​

This program has taken all our drivers through the final stages of the selection. One of them even reached the Grand Final on the Magny-Cours Grand Prix circuit.

« Du Kart à la F1 by AGS » (From Kart to F1)

FROM KART TO F1 is a challenge accessible to everyone, which could give you the chance to drive a Formula 1 car at the 2025 Historic French Grand Prix!

4-stroke kart.

The entry fee is 60€,

The principle is simple: selections followed by qualifying in a 4-stroke kart. Those who qualify will move on to Rotax karts, with the best going on to Formula 4. The overall winner will take the wheel of an F1 car at the 2025 Historic French Grand Prix, and the other 5 finalists will have the chance to drive an F1 car on the Circuit du Var. The entry fee is 60€, and once you've been through the selection process, you don't have to pay for the drive!
