How do u start a racing carrer as a driver?

• im 15 and wanting to presue a racing carrer but if I choose to persue a racing carrer I would have to start when im 17. how do u start a carrer with not much money.

• Answer:

  You better start now if you want to be a star and not just the average driver. The earlier the better. As mentioned before, do kart racing. It's the cheapest way to get into it and helps you develop essential car control skills that apply in any vehicle. Look for a kart track in your area. All current Formula 1 drivers started their careers karting. You will also need a lot of money in order to have a chance at winning a championship in any series, so it's important that you have the backing of a large company through a sponsorship, if you plan on advancing through the racing career ladder. Below I have included a link that shows the progression of climbing the career ladder up to F1. All in all, the cost of getting you to F1 will be nearly 9 million dollars when all is said and done. I don't mean to discourage you, just making you aware how important it is to have sponsors. http://www.ferrarispot.com/forums/track/327-what-does-cost-get-f1.html Best of luck to you, the climb up to F1 is very difficult and there are thousands of drivers aiming for the same goal you are, but F1 seats are limited. Stay focused and driven. If you want it bad enough nothing can stop you.
