	Nexus Racing debuted a new four-wheeled car for WGP2 III, intending to test the vehicle before entering it for WGPC 18. An early second place with Janne Laukkanen at the air.NK WGP2 Race of Nekoni proved a false dawn as he and Drake Stevenson, recruited from NSSCRA after Rebecca Darlington left the team, struggled with reliability and pace for much of the season in large part because the use of the CS-TCCS’s automation to control tyre camber gave the UHSGV-4 prototype inconsistent grip, significantly reducing its driveability. Nonetheless, the two showed signs of improvement towards the season’s end, culminating in a double points finish at the team’s home race at Crossbay Circuit.

	Nexus Racing’s driver academy was formed in response to growing concern that their WGP2 programme was unsuited as an unaugmented driver training programme, due to the inherent unreliability of the cars fielded there in combination with being thrust into open competition in cars with driving characteristics wildly different from what they had driven in their careers up to this point. Now, drivers are instead brought under Nexus Racing’s wing and given access to their facilities, training, funding and the option for a placement into WGPi, the Wardship’s WGP3 competition, with the intention of preparing them for high-level WGP racing at a steadier pace.

	~~Responding~~ to growing concern that ~~Nexus Racing’s~~ WGP2 programme is unsuited as an unaugmented driver training programme due to the inherent unreliability of the cars fielded there, Nexus ~~Racing have begun work~~ to ~~establish~~ a new, in-house ~~series~~ hosted entirely at Crossbay Circuit to train drivers in UHSGV characteristics, racecraft, car setup and development, as well as to acclimatise them to the team’s approach to WGP racing. The series will ~~field underpowered copies of~~ the ~~UHSGV~~ of the ~~prior WGPC season, ensuring a reasonable level~~ of ~~reliability, and run semi-simulated development both to further augment~~ Nexus Racing’s ~~current~~ innovation cycle and ~~give~~ its ~~drivers experience~~ of the ~~process~~.		Nexus Racing’s driver academy was formed in response to growing concern that their WGP2 programme was unsuited as an unaugmented driver training programme, due to the inherent unreliability of the cars fielded there in combination with being thrust into open competition in cars with driving characteristics wildly different from what they had driven in their careers up to this point. Now, drivers are instead brought under Nexus Racing’s wing and given access to their facilities, training, funding and the option for a placement into WGPi, the Wardship’s WGP3 competition, with the intention of preparing them for high-level WGP racing at a steadier pace.

			To offer this new generation of drivers practice with Chase Cutters before potentially offering them a WGP2 seat in one, Nexus Racing established the Nexus Racing Driver Academy Series immediately before WGP2 IV. An in-house affair lasting only a few weeks, hosted entirely at Crossbay Circuit, fielding underpowered copies of the UHSGV of the prior WGPC season to ensure a reasonable level of reliability and the core of Nexus Racing’s driver academy programme, the series works to train drivers in UHSGV characteristics, racecraft, car setup and development, as well as to acclimatise them to the team’s approach to WGP racing. The series runs semi-simulated development, asking drivers to choose different team personnel to work with whose upgrades will then be fitted to their cars, which not only suits the above goals but also gives the series the effect of an ‘engineering jam’, resulting in the creation of multiple new subsystems that can be fed into Nexus Racing’s innovation cycle for optimisation and refinement.

			Though still in its infancy, Nexus Racing’s driver academy has shown promise thus far. The admittance of Haru Jukkenna to WGP2 after an excellent performance in the NRDAS resulted in flashes of genuine pace, while the more stable UHSGV-5 prototype, free from the total instability of initial testing, proved able to challenge for the drivers’ title in the hands of Janne Laukkanen.
