MDR Academy (MDRA) - DISBANDED: 2020
The MDR Academy (MDRA) was a simracing Academy Programme which acted as an agency for drivers to locate their desired racing series/roles, as well as assisting teams to run a stable and secure driver roster during a championship season.
About the academy
The MDR Academy (MDRA) was setup in December 2018 by MDR team founders Jack Mayor and Josh Downard. It acts as an agency to allow drivers of all skill-levels find a racing opportunity that suits their skills and requirements. After 2 years of service, the MDR Group publicly disbanded the Academy for internal complications, stating that the acdemy "no longer has the time or people to run it at an acceptable standard, so it would be unnecessary to continue operating it as it can no longer benefit anybody".
At its peak, the MDR Academy consisted of 16 drivers and 7 affiliated teams including Neptune Simracing, Crossfire, Mayor Downard Racing Team and 2020 Formula Challenge champion Martin Hemmingsen.
