Winfield Racing School

WINFIELD RACING SCHOOL is the iconic and historical racing school established first at Magny-Cours in 1964 before establishing itself at Circuit Paul Ricard in the early 1970’s. The Racing School has a long history in the Motorsport industry and has been the nursery for most of the well-known drivers from the 70s to the 90s. More than 30 F1 drivers in total including Alain Prost, Damon Hill, Jacques Laffite, Christian Danner, Jean Alesi and Olivier Panis started their career with Winfield, making it unique in the entire motorsport history with an unparalleled legacy.

Nowadays, in the stunning surroundings of the Circuit Paul Ricard, WINFIELD RACING SCHOOL benefits from a unique position in the Global Motorsport Industry and proposes fully dedicated and tailor-made driving programmes (GT, single-seaters, F1) for young drivers, gentlemen drivers and companies. Winfield takes in charge the whole organisation, logistics and coaching including the technical side of running racing cars.

Also, as the transition between karting and car racing is an important step for the young drivers wishing to become professional, the racing school relaunched in 2018 the Volant Winfield, a truly comprehensive single-seaters training program and selection. The winner of this edition, the Brazilian Caio Collet, was crowned French FIA F4 champion the same year and is now a member of the Renault Sport Academy, competing in the Formula Renault Eurocup.
