What Formula Careers Students Say About Our Guides
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This course has helped me understand that being into F1 is not just studying and getting placed in an F1 team. Its more than that. Its all the sweat and hardwork that is unseen but surely felt when you reap its benefits. I’m looking forward to taking the right and my first steps towards my career in F1. Hopefully I am not too late.

This guide was very helpful: It confirmed that I was on the right path for some aspects, and gave me new insights on many, many others that I hadn’t considered. Thank you for your efforts in writing all this material!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The guide was a joy to read as it was very practical and realistic. It didn’t create false hopes that it would be the source of success to get the industry experience but at the same time, the tools suggested were enlightening and motivating. It was what I call the first small step necessary to be taken towards the motorsport industry.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great course! Gave me a lot to think about and work on. Very helpful tips on how to properly network myself! Also great on if you’re trying to figure out what are the different routes that can be taken if you’re not from the UK.
