This unique program offers not only comprehensive motorsport training but also a chance to break into the world of competitive racing.
F4 CEZ Academy: A Program Packed with Disciplines
Participants will experience a diverse and engaging program that blends theoretical knowledge with hands-on driving skills. They will be divided into groups led by experienced mentors, including professional drivers Petr Semerád and Adam Kout.

- Mental Coaching: A professional coach will work with participants on concentration, stress management, and self-confidence.
- Knowledge Test: Participants will need to demonstrate their understanding of racing rules and track etiquette.
- Slalom Competition: Competitors will take on an automobile slalom challenge using Renault Twingo Cup race cars.
- Circuit Driving: At Autodrom Most, participants will complete a circuit training program, gaining hands-on experience in a Renault Twingo. Those who pass the circuit school will be eligible to apply for a racing license.
- Formula 4: Introduction and practical driving sessions in a Formula 4 car.
F4 CEZ Academy PRO: The Road to Twingo Cup and Formula 4
All the above disciplines form part of the F4 CEZ Academy. However, for those seeking even more opportunities, the F4 CEZ Academy PRO program offers additional racing experiences, including participation in the Twingo Cup and a potential pathway to Formula 4.
The top ten participants from the F4 CEZ Academy (with all disciplines weighted equally) will have the opportunity to race in the Twingo Cup. The first group (positions 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) will compete at Slovakia Ring from June 6-8, while the second group (positions 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) will race in Most from July 25-27.
The best driver from each group will earn a chance to test a Formula 4 car during the official F4 CEZ test session (August 21 at Slovakia Ring or September 4 in Brno).
The most successful participant of the entire F4 CEZ Academy will be given the opportunity to race in a Formula 4 event in Brno (September 5-7) and will receive a 50% discount on their entry for the 2026 F4 Central Europe Zone season.
Second Edition as a Launchpad for Future Racers
The F4 CEZ Academy provides an ideal opportunity for young drivers to develop their skills and take their first steps into the world of motorsport. The event is organized by the F4 CEZ Academy Club in collaboration with RacingFuel Simulators, Lukamotorsport, Autoklub ČR, and Autodrom Most. Last year’s finalists, Martin Knápek, Marek Mičík, and Michelle Jandová, went on to compete in the 2025 season of the Twingo Cup, Clio Cup, and F4 CEZ.
“Our priority is to give young drivers a pathway into circuit racing and prepare them for the demands of professional motorsport. Each participant will learn not only how to train effectively and maintain peak physical condition but also how to work as a team and communicate efficiently. I am confident that this year’s edition will deliver unforgettable moments and bring participants closer to achieving their dreams,” says Josef Křenek. He also notes that graduates of the F4 CEZ Academy can remain involved throughout the year, assisting in race organization under the guidance of Křenek Motorsport, the official series promoter.
