Who are we?
NV Academy is not just another coaching company. We are there to improve your driving, but we are also there for much more. We are there for YOU! All our packages and services offered are tailor-made to your specific targets. Instead of merely explaining perfect driving lines, we seek to set a goal with you and work towards it together. And with a goal we mean your personal goal: it may be that you have never driven on a race track before and wish to set your first racing steps in a safe & professional environment, but it may also be that your goal is racing in the 24h of LeMans.
That’s right, we have what it takes to guide you to the top. NV Academy was founded by Nico Verdonck, a professional racing driver with more than 20 years of experience in both the go-kart and the motorsport industry. Nico took part in over 300 races and knows the ins & outs of motorsport like his pocket. He knows racing is more than perfecting your driving technique on the circuit: if you want to reach the top of your capabilities, we offer you the full package to get you there. In that respect, it is important to note that we are not limited to a certain brand, team, car, etc. We will work with the team, the car, and the people best suited for you. Our extensive network of national & international contacts allows us to only get you the best for your money and to work with the absolute experts in their fields.
Looking forward to meet you!
Sportive regards,
Nico Verdonck (Founder NV Academy)
