“It was announced that Kian Nakamura, who belongs to our training program, will join the Alpine Affiliate Program. Alpine Academy is a historic training program that has produced many F1 drivers since the Renault Sport Academy era. This is the first time for a Japanese person to join there. Kian has been fond of playing with minicars since childhood, why does the car turn? What is the structure of the car and how can it run faster? I was interested in it. When my parents took him to the cart place when I saw him playing seriously with a mini car, he started Kurt, and Kian explored and discovered the speed even when driving. I understood Kurt. It is said that Kian has talent, but I have always thought regarding cars since I was a child, not talent, and I was not satisfied with my driving and searched for what was missing. I believe that his continued attitude leads to his driving and results. In the future, I hope that Kian will use the facilities owned by the BWT Alpine F1 team to further develop his wonderful ability. Please provide some support”
