Start in kart racing. NOW. Get really, really good. then hope you're noticed. Red Bull has a driver search program. The link is below\n\nKimi Räikkönen only had 23 professional races when he was signed by Peter Sauber.You don't need a lot of experience, you just need to be really, really good.

Inorder to get onto a driving seat one has to first have a super licence which can be obtained by displaying one's skills in local, national level, etc. small races like go carting etc. after obtaining the super license one may build his/her repute by  entering in smaller world championships like formula3, indy car etc. then with the help of sponserers he can have a test drive with any of the F1 teams with their approval. and if you fulfil the necessary requirements and if the team feels you as suitable for a driving seat, u may be given a driving seat.

No. There is no form of Sport that generates more money than Formula-1. despite the money spent by european clubs on various players, they can't compete with the money that is pumped into technology by F-1 teams. Even the name Formula-1 suggests that it is the supreme form of sport.

agha, Don't listen to the other people. Now, car racing is a hit in Iran. From Karting at azadi to rallying and that girl who's a really good driver. I would recommened practising and if you actually beleive you are one of the best 50 drivers in the world, jusst get a normal visa to the US and try out. If you get in AWESOME, we'll have the first Iranian Nascar driver. But If you can't make it, PRACTISE HARDER!

Formula Three teams usually depend on drivers bringing sponsorship to the team. I'm sure the budget for a single car with a British F3 team would be at least $500,000.

Formula 1 will definitely come to India, but we still are many years away from it. We need to generate more funds and fan following for the sport to get it to India. F1 chief Bernie Eccelestone agreed that India is a market which cannot be ignored. So I feel it will definitely happen.

Which Formula? Formula One, Formula Atlantic, Formula Nippon, Formula Renault, Formula 2000, Formula Ford ... ?\nYour question is a bit like asking which is better: An apple or a banana; both are fruit and to some people an apple is better than a banana; others will say it's a banana. The same logic could be applied to racing.\nTechnology-wise, Formula One is streets ahead of any other form of racing, but it is also far more expensive than other forms of racing (The Toyota F1 team is believed to spend as much as $400 million per season). Still, that doesn't make it better.\nWhen it comes to promotion (in North America) NASCAR does a great job.\nPersonally I prefer open-wheel racing, but I'm not about to dump on NASCAR; you really can't argue with the success the series has in North America.\nI really sat on the fence with this one, so, I expect I'll have to be satisfied with the two points for an answer. However, I don't think I've ruffled any NASCAR supporters' feathers. :-)

In order to be able to take part in an F1 Grand Prix, a driver must obtain what they call a "Super-license" which can only be granted by The Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) which is the governing and sanctioning body for the Formula One World Driver's Championship. These licenses are usually awarded on the basis of a drivers past record in junior formulas and of his having a valid contract with a Formula One team which has entered the World Championship. \nMany drivers in the current F1 grid started their carrers at very early ages in karting and worked their way up. the more access to funds, the better.  :-)

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.

I understand what your saying. I enjoy stock car racing and would love to start (I'm only 16) but I know how pricey it could get and want to do it on my own with a little help from my mom. I'd suggest sitting down with your parents and seriously talk to them about this. Ask them if you could get a job to help pay for some of the expenses (if you feel you could work) and go from there. I keep hearing it's better to start young. So I wish you luck and hope you achieve what you want. Oh and don't ever stop believing in yourself-whether you start know or 10 years from now at least you'll know you tried!

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.

Questions you have to ask yourself. \n1/Are fit for the race?\n2/Do you have to time?\n\nYou should race if yes for both questions.

Comments like that is why there is rivalries.  Yes- I am a Jeff Gordon fan and he earned his way to Nascar- starting out in go-carts, sprint cars, midgets!

It will be hard, but possible - not all top drivers come from rich families. You should really have talent and some luck would do too.
