The Australian Motor Sport Foundation (AMSF) has today announced a new and revitalised AMSF Motorsport Camp that will provide young and aspiring drivers with the opportunity to gain the competitive edge for the 2010 season. Registrations are now open for the 2010 AMSF Motorsport Camp to be held at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra, from Monday 5th – Friday 9th April, 2010. The redesigned camp will be based on the highly successful CAMS Rising Star Program. With the Rising Star drivers in attendance as well as Aussie Young Guns and all CAMS Scholarship holders, participants will be a part of a weeklong training camp with a number of Australia’s best young talented drivers. AMSF General Manager Martin Stillman believes this is a great opportunity for the AMSF to assist young aspiring motor sport competitors learn what it takes to be successful on and off the track. “This will be the first time that we are bringing together the most talented young drivers from across the country to attend the AMSF Motorsport Camp. For those who attend, it will unlock many of the secrets required to be successful at the elite level and offer a range of practical tools that can be applied throughout their motor sport careers,” Stillman said. “The camp will give participants a head-start over other competitors who wish to gain selection into the prestigious CAMS Rising Star and other elite motor sport programs in 2011 and beyond.” The camp will focus on improving individual performance for motor sport competitors and will cover topics such as nutrition, cardiovascular activity, strength and conditioning, recovery, psychology, media, sponsorship, career planning and competing internationally. The camp will also cover race preparation, motor sport specific training techniques and a presentation from a professional V8 Supercar driver. Although the camp will include some theoretical components, it will be highly interactive with a comprehensive performance report and a number of tools being provided for application away from the AIS. It will also give participants an opportunity to benchmark their performance against previous elite attendees including recent CAMS Rising Stars and other Australian drivers competing internationally. The cost of the camp will be $2,990, which includes accommodation, use of AIS facilities and all meals at the AIS, as well as all learning materials and camp apparel. Participants will stay on-site at the AIS and will be supervised by Camp Coordinators at all times throughout the camp. Spots are limited and restricted to the first twelve (12) competitors who apply and meet the pre-selection criteria. Applications for the AMSF Motorsport Camp close on Friday 19th March, 2010.
