“If Roger Penske was to call your driver five years from now to offer them a ride in a major series, what will you have to do between now and then to get that call?”
That’s the question that former F1 driver Derek Daly will address for parents of young drivers in a seminar Friday morning, December 12, at the Performance Racing Industry Trade Show, in Indianapolis. The seminar will be held from 8 to 9 a.m. in Room 212 of the Indiana Convention Center. Parents will leave this seminar knowing the critical steps to take to develop their driver.
Daly is the father of Conor Daly, a rising star who competed in GP2 in 2014. Conor won the Skip Barber National Championship and the Formula Star Mazda Championship.
Jeff Horton, director of engineering for the IndyCar series, whose son Chandler is also attempting to climb through the ranks to become a professional race car driver, will join Daly in sharing his insights on how to prepare a talented young driver for all the various demands on drivers at the top of the sport.
“We are very excited to have Derek and Jeff make this valuable young driver development seminar a part of this year’s PRI Trade Show,” said John Kilroy, producer of the PRI Trade Show. “They really believe that racing should be doing all it can to develop the next generation of great drivers, so they’re giving their time, experience and expertise to share their best advice with parents who have talented young drivers in the family.”
The seminar will discuss a wide spectrum of necessary skills, from working with sponsors to dealing with the media. It is titled, “Developing My Driver For A Career As A Professional Race Car Driver.” There is no charge for admission to this seminar, but all attendees must have show credentials. The PRI Trade Show is not open to the public; it is for the racing trade only.
