Synergy Pathways identity has always been leveraging upon values of creativity, diversity and learning. Those are values that have characterized our Motorsport Academy projects during the last ten years. 

Throughout the years we have been focusing on refining our skills and network in order to concretely make it more effective than ever in identifying, developing and sharing skillsets that are relevant to motorsport action. Action on track and action behind the scenes.
