MDRA also works with various teams, allowing them to provide the academy with the power to control at least one of the team's seats, giving MDRA the choice to put any one of the academy drivers in the chosen seat. This is to provide a more secure line-up for teams, guaranteeing them to run all their cars at all of the races during a season. If an Academy drivers does need to leave their position in an MDRA affiliated team, this relieves the pressure from the team management, leaving it up to the Academy to fill the slot with another driver from the MDRA driver roster.
