Nigeria Racing Eagle have launched its NRE Formula Ford project, the Ford Series, known as Dunlop MSA Formula Ford Championship.
The junior drivers will compete in this series, which will be used for the team’s Motorsport Academy programme to develop future race drivers.
As part of the preparations, NRE junior drivers Ovie Iroro and Nathan Wright began their training session with SWB Motorsport UK – one of the team’s technical partner.
The drivers familiarised themselves with the Formula Ford 2000 gear and braking system, communication and data logging, seat moulding and fittings, steering wheel and feet position configuration, which are key requirements for all racing series, including Formula 1.
They also used an advance full racing car simulator to practice speed and learn how to drive on different race circuits.
The next stage will be a scheduled three days testing at Turweston Airfield and Snetteron Race Circuit in the UK.
