GRAVITY ACADEMY IN A FEW WORDS Gravity Academy set up by Gravity Sport Management, a Luxembourg-based company, is a dedicated motor sport organization, which began its activity in 2008. Its aim is to pick out, support and promote young drivers with the help of private investors. Gravity Academy designs a complete individually-tailored programme for its future champions to ensure their development whether it concerns their driving technique, their physical fitness, their familiarization with the economic aspects of motor sport or their relations with the media. Permanent evaluation and follow-up enable a tailor-made programme to be designed for each member. Drivers who have achieved their objectives by the end of the season have their participation in the Gravity Academy automatically renewed.
