Nico Rosberg launches go karting academy

The 2016 Formula 1 champion launches his go karting academy.

The 2016 Formula 1 champ, Nico Rosberg, has been staying active in the motorsport community after his retirement through the media duties and series like Formula E. He is continuing that theme by starting a karting academy named the ‘ROSBERG YOUNG DRIVERS ACADEMY’.

The goal of this is to give back to young drivers after having a lengthy and successful Formula 1 career. It will hope to elevate these young drivers into single seater categories and possibly launch their career towards Formula 1.

Nico will be partnering with Dino Chiesa who is a long time karter and friend of Nico. The academy currently has two young drivers competing in the CIK FIA karting championship, Taylor Barnard and Lorenzo Travisanutto.
