it largely depends on what type of motorsport you wish to get involved in, my suggestion is go to your local track as most have schools and ask to speak to someone or visit the jim russell racing school website www.jimrussell.com and contact someone there.

NASCAR, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, is the regulatory body of a number racing series; the three most popular tending to be Cup, Grand National, and Truck Series.\nEach Series (or division) has its own set of rules and regulations, including limits on vehicle and engine design. The common characteristics between series are the track design (usually an oval or "tri-oval" with a straight stretch of road where cars may "pit" for repairs, tires, and fuel), and colored flags displayed during the race: Green signified full speed racing, Yellow indicates a "Caution" period where no racing is allowed, Red a full stoppage, Black a penalty, White the final lap, and Checkered the end of the race.\nHowever, when most people talk about NASCAR, they are referring to the Cup Series, currently called NASCAR Nextel Cup (after the primary sponsor). Nextel Cup runs a 26 race regular season (plus an additional four races: the Budweiser Shootout, two Gatorade Duels, and the NASCAR Nextel All Star Challenge)that runs from February through September, during which drivers compete for points. Points are awarded for finishing position during the race, for leading a lap, and for leading the most laps during a race. Total points on the year determine your standing, and the Top 10 drivers (along with any drivers within 400 points of the leader) after the last regular-season race enter the 10-race Chase for the Nextel Cup. The leader's point total is reset to 5,050; and each following Chase driver is given 5 fewer points (5045, 5040, etc). \nAs of Race 8, drivers qualifying for the Chase are Matt Kenseth (driving the number 17 DeWalt Ford), Jimmie Johnson (48 Lowe's Chevy), Kasey Kahne (9 Dodge Dealers Dodge), Mark Martin (6 AAA Ford), Tony Stewart (20 Home Depot Chevy), Jeff Gordon (24 DuPont/Pepsi Chevy), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (8 Budweiser Chevy), Kevin Harvick (29 Reese's Chevy), Kyle Busch (5 Kellogg's Chevy), Casey Mears (42 Texaco/Havoline Dodge), Dale Jarrett (88 UPS Ford), Clint Bowyer (07 Jack Daniels Chevy), Jeff Burton (31 Cingular Wireless Chevy), Elliott Sadler (38 M&Ms Ford), Martin Truex Jr. (1 Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Chevy), and Carl Edwards (99 Office Depot Ford). There are four additional drivers within 10 points of the Chase.\nThe Grand National or Busch Series is often thought of as the "minor leagues", and is promoted as a showcase for up and coming talent. The Craftsman Truck Series offers a unique racing experience.\nAs for Mark Martin, he's driven the Roush Racing #6 car with a variety of primary sponsors since 1988, but he's been driving Cup series since 1981. He currently drives the number 6 for Roush in all three major series (sponsored by AAA in Nextel, Ameriquest in Busch and Scott's Miracle-Gro in Crafstman Truck). Martin has never won the Cup champsionship, but has finished outside of the top ten in points only twice since 1988.

there are many "formula ___" racing series - formula simply means a set of rules.  in the early days of grand prix auto racing, there was a race series called "formula libre" which is, i think, italian for "free form" - basically no rules, and the fastest car wins.  various rule sets were introduced over the years, and formula "one" was so named because it was to be the fastest and highest level of competition.  \n\nsee the links below for a great backstory on the history of GP racing as well as a list of other formulae series.

The series is already inplace.  The SCCA SPEED World Challenge GT, incorporates Mustangs, Corvettes, Cadillac CTS-V, as well as a number of U.S. and Foreign Manufacters.  The cars sure looked and sounded good at Long Beach earlier this year, the Cadillacs had that 'vintage' Trans-Am look to them.
