Do you own a race car? Without one, you won't be able to race at your local track. Best thing to do is head for a kart track, rent a kart and start driving. Next step would be to buy your own kart and start racing. After that you can possibly move up to Formula  Ford and Formula 2000.

I would think you have to make an application one year ahead of each race to MIS. They have to plan way ahead for every inch of space in and around the track.  Probably it is to late for this race. Contact MIS.

Most people that get to that competitive level start skiing by age three and competing at age 6.  You would go to ski based schools growing up like a ski academy.  Then you would be recruited by the team after you kicked but in division one or world cup level races.\n\nWhat I'm trying to tell you is that it's not as easy as it looks.  These guys have been skiing and racing at least 3-4 days a week since they were kids and dry land training in thier off time.\n\nGood luck.

no one has given you a good answer yet so here goes...fine a track close to your home and get a set of rules for the lowest class at that track.it will cost less to run in this class and give you some experience.then you can move up as you get better....

Your ambition is great! Unfortunately, you're between a rock & a hard spot. Serious racing sponsors consider not just experienced racers, but only those with winning records. Nobody wants to be in last place & few want to be connected with a nameless rookie. I know that sounds cruel, but those are the facts. Before I retired, approving & issuing sponsorships for racecars & show cars was part of my job. I turned down hundreds of racers & only bought into a few each year. If you can grasp the reality that no one is going to pay you to learn (if they would, we'd all be drivers), I can tell you how to proceed.\nYou need to eat, sleep & breathe racing. You should be at the track every chance you get. You need to talk to & become friendly with drivers, owners & technicians. You should offer to help with the dirty work, even for free.  Once you're in this circle it is much easier to gain a sponsorship.  Most often drivers/owners get sponsors through networking.  That is, knowing someone who knows someone who knows someone who recommends you to a sponsor. Get car people on your side.  It isn't easy.  But if it was...well, you know.

You got it. Lots of hard work!!  Most drivers started when they were very young and worked their way through the different series.

1. Learn how to drive.\n2. Practice driving.\n3. Try karting (like Michael Schumacher did).\n4. Try driving a taxi cab or similar PUV (like Mika Hakkinen did).\n5. Try to slim down.\n6. Try to become smaller.\n7. Enter a racing school, preferably F1 racing schools.\n8. Earn a racing license, I don't know if F1 has different racing licenses.\n9. Look for smaller tourneys like F2's, F3's and the like and try to be the best (like Juan Pablo Montoya).\n10. Find an F1 racing team, preferably the low earners like the Jordan team that we used to have (remember how Karthikeyan tasted 1 F1 season?).\n11. Transfer to a more decent team in case opportunity arises (don't be like Takuma Sato, please).

There are schools that you can go to. The skip barber Race School, has "classes" at different race tracks around the country. best bet is to go to a track day, the instructors can help you along.\n i think you have to be at least 18 in some forms of motorsport. i think there were three guys last year who where younger though who did a race in SCCA Speed World Challenge

Most drivers in any top series(F1, NASCAR, Indy, Champ Car, etc.) start at an early age. However, I believe it was Scott Speed or Scott Sharp who won the Indy title several years ago actually started racing at 27! I guess he was just a natural, but at that age it would still be hard to convince people of your talent just because of your lack of experience. Good luck!

I did the RC Experience in Charlotte a few years ago.  I really enjoyed it but thought it was a bit over priced for what I actually got.  They said that we would get 8 laps but I only got 5.  There was a short class before that explained how you follow the pace car and what the flags mean.  They also give you a high speed trip around the track in a van prior to your driving so that you'll understand the line to drive and to watch for the paint markings on the pavement.  There was also a lot of sitting around waiting, as in I was there over 4 hours and my drive lasted about 5 minutes.  I'm glad I did it as being a huge NASCAR fan I have a whole new appreciation about what it feels like to drive a stock car.  All in all it was a great experience but was a little put off by the cost.  As far as the speed, the max is 145 (I think) I personally went about 130.  However, to actually drive a stock car on a real track was fun.  (By the way, you drive 100 miles per hour, all the time?  Not smart)

All types of races have different categories because not all stock cars have the same elapsed time. There is usually a qualifiying stage for this and from there they would put you in your class. have loads of fun :-)

Have you ever raced Go-karts? Try getting into racing and then you can work your way up and be a NASCAR driver! I know how you feel too! I am 14 but I want to be in Indy car! Ever heard of Danica Patrick! But start off with something small and it will pay off!

Start off racing karts, go to a driving school (the usually get you going in a Formula Ford or Formula 2000 car), enter a club racing series (Formula Ford or Formula 2000), move up the ladder to Formula Atlantic (in North America) or Formula Three, then to the GP2 series. If you have driving talent, someone will have noticed you and if you really have talent an F1 team will offer you a job as a test driver and you'll qualify for a super license needed to compete in F1.\nYou'll need a lot of money or generous sponsors if you have any hope of becoming an F1 driver.

First of all you should go to the RAC Motorsport site where there are several information packs available on all sorts of motorsport. Read them before taking too many decisions as they may well help you in mapping out your career path in jarts.
