I believe the latest edition was one of the most successful to date, which gives extra motivation to me, the Academy drivers and the Master Camp staff Says Valentino Rossi.
The five participants of this new edition come from the regions of Southeast Asia and North America. They were chosen based on their age, their talents as well as their position in the ranking of their championship. This group of drivers includes Jake LeClair (Canada), Sawapol Nillapong (Thailand), Suttipat Patchareetorn (Thailand), Muhammad Alif Ash Tah Bin Tahiruddin (Malaysia) et McKinley Kyle Paz (Philippines).
« We are very happy to observe the level of these drivers, because we have heard positive things about them.

The planned program offers young Master Camp drivers the opportunity to familiarize themselves with on-road and off-road racing disciplines in order to acquire basic techniques. Participants will then put their new skills to the test during various activities, in which pilots from the VR46 Academy will participate. The goal is to learn from each other.

I hope the new students will surpass themselves and I look forward to seeing their progress and the results after a week of work at the Master Camp » concludes Valentino.
