MILAN, ITALY — Promising racing driver Yana Kapoor recently completed a rigorous, multi-day elite training program in Italy under the direct mentorship of world-renowned racing driver Augusto Farfus. Kapoor participated in Farfus’ prestigious Motorsports Performance Academy, a program engineered to replicate the intense, high-pressure environment of professional race weekends.
The academy provides an immersive experience designed to equip drivers with the precision, mindset, and race craft necessary to transition into higher categories of motorsport. Kapoor’s curriculum focused heavily on extensive track time, technical data analysis, and advanced mental conditioning.
The intensive three-day training itinerary pushed Kapoor through a diverse range of machinery and demanding circuits:
-
Day 1 (Castelletto Circuit): Kapoor kicked off the program mastering vehicle dynamics in a high-energy Legends Car, focusing on car control and sharp handling.
-
Day 2 (Cremona Circuit): Transitioning to open-wheel racing, Kapoor took the wheel of a Formula 4 (F4) car for a demanding test day, focusing on high-speed aerodynamics and technical precision.
-
Day 3 (Tazio Nuvolari Circuit): The training concluded with a final, high-intensity F4 test session, where Kapoor refined race-craft strategies and maximized track performance.
“The Motorsports Performance Academy is built to push drivers to their absolute limits and mirror the exact demands of a professional race weekend,” said Augusto Farfus. “Yana showed incredible adaptability, technical focus, and the mental stamina required to excel in top-tier motorsport categories.”
With this elite European training under her belt, Kapoor returns to the grid with elevated technical preparation, sharper instincts, and a proven foundation to excel in higher-level single-seater championships.
Yana is currently leading the WRS F4 Championship in the United States and is heading back to North America for a double-header at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in California June 26-28. All the upcoming race details can be found here…
