As well as competing in the league, Williams – in collaboration with PitFit Training – will provide an intensive remote coaching program to all PRL drivers competing in the series. The program features a comprehensive driver evaluation test with feedback from a driver coach, chief engineer, and human performance coach. Preceding each race, drivers will engage in a tailored training regimen covering crucial aspects such as race car physics, set-up development, condition and performance mapping, strategy testing, and adaptive driving styles. Furthermore, PRL participants gain access to PitFit's Human Performance program, responsible for preparing hundreds of drivers and teams in motorsports, ensuring that physiological and cognitive stressors never become a limitation of maximizing performance. PitFit's program for PRL drivers is complemented by Williams' coaching expertise in fitness, strength & conditioning, nutrition, and sports psychology, as well as its rich heritage of engineering and driver development.
除了參加聯賽外，威廉姆斯還將與PitFit培訓合作，爲所有參加該系列賽的PRL車手提供密集的遠程教練計劃。該計劃包括由駕駛員教練、首席工程師和人類表現教練提供反饋的全面駕駛員評估測試。在每場比賽之前，車手將進行量身定製的訓練方案，涉及關鍵方面，如賽車物理學、配置開發、控制和性能映射、策略測試和適應性駕駛風格。此外，PRL參與者可以獲得PitFit的人類表現計劃，該計劃負責爲數百名運動員和車隊準備，確保生理和認知壓力從不成爲最大化表現的限制。 PitFit爲PRL車手提供的計劃得到了威廉姆斯在健身、力量與體能、營養和體育心理學方面的教練專業知識以及其豐富的工程和駕駛員發展遺產的補充。
In addition to the draft in London, Williams will hold competitions at its Fan Zones worldwide, inviting attendees to showcase their skills on simulators for a chance to earn golden tickets to Prodigy Week, qualify for the Prodigy Draft, and potentially race for the prestigious team in the Prodigy Racing League. The initiative offers an enticing opportunity for motorsport enthusiasts to engage directly with the sport and transition from virtual to real-world racing. Promotions will be held at all Williams Fan Zones, which take place in city centers in the week building up to F1 grands prix, including locations such as Melbourne, Tokyo, Miami, Montreal, Barcelona, Singapore, Austin, and Las Vegas.
除了倫敦的選秀活動，威廉姆斯還將在其全球範圍的球迷專區舉辦比賽，邀請參展者展示他們在模擬器上的技巧，爲參加普羅迪週末比賽贏得黃金門票，獲得普羅迪選秀的資格，可能代表這個備受讚譽的車隊參加普羅迪賽車聯盟。這個項目爲賽車愛好者提供了一個有吸引力的機會，可以直接參與賽車運動，並過渡從虛擬賽車到真實賽車。普羅萊爾周圍的所有威廉姆斯球迷區都將舉行促銷活動，這些球迷區在F1大獎賽建設的城市中心舉行，包括墨爾本、東京、邁阿密、蒙特利爾、巴塞羅那、新加坡、奧斯汀和拉斯維加斯等地。
Marcus Prosser, Marketing Director, Williams Racing said, "Williams is passionate about breaking new boundaries in bringing fans closer to motorsport and has a proud tradition of developing talented young drivers into race winners, so teaming up with Racing Prodigy makes perfect sense.
