Get on the FastTrack to Motorsport Stardom with EXCELR8
Vansdirect is delighted to be putting its weight of support behind FastTrack, an exciting new campaign to find motorsport’s future talent.
The initiative led by TeamSport Karting and EXCELR8 Motorsport aims to discover a star for tomorrow through a structured driver development programme that will give one person an opportunity they might not have been able to achieve.
Across five exciting stages, lucky hopefuls will receive expert coaching, professional feedback and invaluable race experience, developing skills both on and off track, so that they are prepared for the next level of motorsport.
The winner will earn the opportunity of a lifetime, with a fully funded season in the Cooper Class of the 2027 MINI CHALLENGE TROPHY race series with EXCELR8 Motorsport worth up to £100,000.
Vansdirect – which sponsors title-winners Team VERTU EXCELR8 Motorsport in the British Touring Car Championship – is delighted to be lending its support as a way to support grassroots motorsport and provide opportunities for those who might be unable to sustain a young racing career.
From the first initial stages of trialling in a kart and undergoing media and fitness training at any one of TeamSport’s ten national venues, you will move onto development and assessment.
The final stage will see eight would-be racers go head-to-head for the chance to win a fully funded season in the MINI CHALLENGE for 2027.
It provides a unique chance to go from indoor karting to racing on one of Britain’s biggest motorsport stages.
