This includes Aussie talents James Piszcyk, Lincoln Taylor and Kristen Janev.
The five-day Academy is being held at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.
Motorsport Australia ran a regional program in conjunction with the FDA. Motorsport Australia Director of Motorsport & Commercial Operations Michael Smith said the event was primed for success.
“We’re looking forward to hosting 25 of the best young drivers from the Asia Pacific region at Sepang and giving them the opportunity to showcase their skills, as well as develop their skills through our rigorous academy program,” he said.
“It’s particularly exciting to see more drivers from outside of Australia as part of this year’s FDA selection program, highlighting the ability for this program to develop and find the best young talent from our region.
“We can’t wait to meet all the drivers and their families in Sepang in September and look forward to seeing them all grow their skills both on and off track as part of the highly renowned FDA selection program.”
