The F4 CEZ Academy program began in March, offering comprehensive preparation for a group of aspiring drivers with the goal of competing in the F4 CEZ series during the final round in Brno. Now two of them, Stefan Treneski from North Macedonia and Lukáš Houlík from the Czech Republic, will get the chance to test a Formula 4 car at the Slovakia Ring.
The second edition of the F4 CEZ Academy, designed to prepare young drivers for a career in motorsport, has now reached its penultimate stage. A total of ten drivers, divided into two groups, took part in races earlier this year. The first group competed in the Twingo Cup at the Slovakia Ring in June, while the second group raced at the Autodrom Most in July.
In the first group, which featured Treneski, Oliver Gmuca and Oliver Šteiner, it was Treneski who achieved the best results. In the second group, consisting of Linda Frey, Lukáš Houlík, Karolína Průšová, Richard Sopuch and Marek Strach (who had originally been slated to race in the first group but was unable to due to other commitments) — Houlík emerged as the top performer.
Treneski and Houlík will now test a Formula 4 car on Thursday, August 21, during the test sessions at the Slovakia Ring, ahead of the F4 Central European Zone race weekend. The one who demonstrates the strongest skills will earn a place in the F4 CEZ race at Brno, scheduled for September 5–7.
The project is organized by the F4 CEZ Academy Club under the Czech Automobile Club (AČR), in collaboration with Racingfuel Simulators, Lukamotorsport, Autoklub ČR, Autodrom Most, and CMKarting.
