Level 1 of the Valor Driver Development Programme
Valor Challenger
The free first level of the programme, for drivers racing in a championship who are on their way up. A mark that a serious team has seen your results.
Free to join. One application covers every level.
What Valor Challenger is
It is not team membership. Challengers do not race in Valor team kit, colours or race numbers. It is recognition that your results have been seen and checked by the team, and a route into the Academy if you keep winning.
What you get
What a Valor Challenger gets
The Valor Challenger visor strip
Earned with a qualifying result approved by the team, then bought from your page and posted to you. Earned once and kept for good. Lost or damaged it? Order a replacement.
Valor Challenger clothing
A t-shirt and jacket, opening up once your result is approved.
A route up
A championship win, and being ready to invest, puts you forward for the UK Academy.
What counts
Which results earn the strip
A win or podium in a championship final, or the overall result of a championship round. Every result is checked against what the published results show.
Counts
- A TeamSport Grid Series round
- A track championship round
- A national rental championship: Club 73, Club100, SRK, EKS, BRKC or another national rental series
- The final result, or the overall result of the round
Does not count
- TeamSport open events
- Thursday night events
- Practice sessions
- Arrive and drive and open races
- Heats, qualifying and lap time leaderboards
- Corporate and party events
The check is strict. We read the results link or screenshot you send and check the championship, the session, your name and your position. If the published results do not clearly show it, it does not count.
How to apply
Three steps to a Challenger page
Apply
One application covers every level of the programme and takes about five minutes. Drivers 18 or over apply themselves. For drivers under 18, a parent or guardian applies.
Send your result
Tell us where you race and send the results link or a screenshot of your championship win or podium.
Earn the strip
Once the team approves your result, the visor strip and the Challenger clothing open up on your page.
Before you apply
Two things worth knowing
Start where everyone starts
Arrive and drive sessions, TeamSport open events and Thursday nights are the best place to start, and every quick driver started there. Valor Challenger begins once you are racing in a championship. Get onto a TeamSport Grid Series, your track’s championship, or a national rental championship such as Club 73, Club100, SRK, EKS or BRKC, then come back and apply.
A parent or guardian applies
Drivers under 18 apply through a parent or guardian. The parent fills in the application, makes every choice about the driver’s data and receives all contact. A parent or guardian attends any Valor event with a driver under 18.
One more thing. The correct wording is “Valor Challenger”, never “I race for Valor”. That matters to the drivers who have earned a seat.
Before you apply
Twenty places, and they cost nothing.
Valor Challenger is twenty places for 2027 and it is free. You are not committing to a paid season and you are not paying to find out whether this is for you. You send one application, the team reads it, and if your racing fits, you carry the colours.
That same application is the one the Academy and the Works Team are filled from. Send it once and you are in front of the team for every level, this season and the next.
