It would be beneficial if you had a karting background but you should stuff your wallet with a lot of money or get a sponsor who will spend plenty of cash, and head for England where many of the circuits have racing schools. Enroll in one and learn the basics of driving a race car. From there you can usually buy a ride with a Formula Ford team, then a Formula 2000 or Formula Renault outfit. Conservatively it will probably have cost you at least $75,000, maybe more, by now.\nAt this stage it will be obvious whether or not you have talent, and if you do, and if you still have lots and lots of money, a British or European Formula Three team will put you in a car and you might even advance to GP2 and, at the same time snag a job as a test driver with an F1 team. If you've won a championship along the way (F3 or GP2), the FIA will probably grant you a Super License and if you still have lots of money or a corporation willing to sponsor you, you might become an F1 driver. Of course if you are an exceptional driver by now, the F1 teams will come knocking on your door\nThere are other ways of becoming an F1 driver but this is the route many take.\nRemember, there are only 22 F1 drivers (24 in 2008) and a handful of test drivers, so your chances of making it all the way aren't great. Still, you can dream.

That's one of the toughest gigs to land in all of racing but if you're serious you need to start at the bottom.  That would be Go-Cart racing...yes, I am serious!  They have its of classes and it's here most get their start in open wheel racing.  \n\nIF you're good and the right eyes spy you then you MIGHT get invited to test for one of the open wheel teams that run in various 'feeder' series such as the Mazda Star Series.  Better win some races and probably a championship because the next stop (if you're REALLY lucky) is IRL or CART.  Lots of guys race their entire careers there and never even get the privilege to talk to even a back running F1 team so you might consider selling your soul at this point if success is really that important.  \n\nOK, I guess your fingers still dripping where you signed in blood so I'll give you the last and probably harshest bit of news.  Even if you get to F1 it's most likely you'll start for one of the small teams, you know, the ones whose names you likely don't even know like Menardi or Saulver.  Yup, even F1 has it's feeder teams and it's here you must shine your brightest all the while driving equipment which is, well, not substandard but old, the cast offs and outdated equipment from teams like McClairen, Williams and Big Red. Expect a lot of heartache as you'll know that in each and every race you have an almost infinitesimal chance of even finishing in the points and absolutly zero of winning.  \n\nOh, I almost forgot the most important part...MONEY!  Most of the smaller teams where you get your start require a driver buy in, or in other words big bucks for the chance to get behind the wheel and the last I heard it was about a cool $1,000,000 to get a seat at even the lowest level.  Why do you think it's only rich Europeans behind the wheels?  Old family money for spoiled rich kids to 'compete' for the families honor. \n \nSorry to be the bearer of bad news but facts are facts and I certainly don't make the rules.  My best advice to you if you TRUELY want to be a race car driver is to start in Go-Carts or entry levels of any of the dirt racing series and make a name for yourself.  Even if you don't get to the top you'll have a blast and make memories which will last a life time. So here's to living the dream. Best of luck to you, and I really mean it.

FIA Rules & Regulations Sporting Regulations  \n2006 season changes  \n \nA number of changes to both the Sporting and Technical Regulations have been made by the FIA for the 2006 Formula One season.\n\nQualifying\nFor 2006, the single-lap system used in recent years is replaced by a new three-part, knockout format, with multiple cars on track throughout the qualifying hour, which is split into two 15-minute sessions and a final 20-minute session, with five-minute breaks in between.\n\nPart one: All 22 cars may run laps at any time during the first 15 minutes of the hour. At the end of the first 15 minutes, the six slowest cars drop out and fill the final six grid places.\n\nPart two: After a five-minute break, the times will be reset and the 16 remaining cars then will then run in a second 15-minute session - again they may complete as many laps as they want at any time during that period. At the end of the 15 minutes, the six slowest cars drop out and fill places 11 to 16 on the grid.\n\nPart three: After another five-minute break, the times are reset and the final 20-minute session will feature a shootout between the remaining 10 cars to decide pole position and the starting order for the top 10 grid places. Again, these cars may run as many laps as they wish.\n\nIn the first two 15-minute sessions, cars may run any fuel load and drivers knocked out after those sessions may refuel ahead of the race. However, the top-ten drivers must begin the final 20-minute session with the fuel load on which they plan to start the race. The amount of fuel they use in that 20 minutes, as calculated by the FIA, may then be replaced prior to the race.\n\nIf a driver is deemed to have stopped unnecessarily on the circuit or impeded another driver during the qualifying session, then his times will be cancelled.\n\nEngines\nFor 2006, engines are reduced in size from the previous 3-litre V10s to 2.4-litre V8s. The aim is to reduce costs and improve safety. With similar engine speeds, the change is expected to cut peak power by around 200bhp, which in turn is likely to add around three to five seconds to lap times at most circuits. The FIA may allow some teams to use 2005-spec V10s if they do not have access to competitive V8. The FIA will enforce a rev limit on any V10s to ensure performance is comparable with that of a V8.\n\nTyres\nAfter a season’s absence, tyre changes during races return to Formula One in 2006. The thinking behind this is that the reduced engine size will offset any performance gain. Drivers also have access to slightly more tyres than in 2005 - seven sets of dry-weather, four sets of wet-weather and three sets of extreme-weather. Drivers must make a final choice of dry-weather compound ahead of qualifying.\n\nWeekend schedule\nIn a slight change to the Grand Prix weekend format, Saturday morning now features a single, one-hour practice session, as opposed to two, 45-minute sessions. It takes place between 1100 and 1200. Qualifying is an hour later than before, commencing at 1400.  \n \nFIA Regulations in detail \n \nPublished with permission from the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile.\n\nFrom the 2006 Formula One Sporting Regulations:\n\nFREE PRACTICE\n114) Free practice sessions will take place:\na) The day after initial scrutineering from 11.00 to 12.00 and from 14.00 to 15.00.\nb) The day before the race from 11.00 to 12.00.\n\nQUALIFYING PRACTICE\n115) The qualifying practice session will take place on the day before the race from 14.00 to 15.00. \nThe session will be run as follows: \na) From 14.00 to 14.15 all cars will be permitted on the track and at the end of this period the slowest five cars, taking into account only laps which were completed before the end of the period, will be prohibited from taking any further part in the session. \nLap times achieved by the fifteen remaining cars will then be deleted. \nb) From 14.20 to 14.35 the fifteen remaining cars will be permitted on the track and at the

U need to move up through lower formula's through (usually) carting until you gain a super licence.\n\nBest thing you can do is to get into carting and see if you have an aptitude but don't set your heart on it as there are very very few F1 places ever available ... even the lower series are over subscribed.\n\nA lack of talent can also be made up for by having substantial sponsorship ... so called 'pay drivers'.\n\nGood luck and remember us when you are famous.

Start at a beginner lever. Midget racing, stock car racing, go cart to hone you fundamentals then and win win win races. The more you do that, you will more than likely get noticed by scouts and advertisers. And the rest will be history. And sell yourself to people.

Mass, acceleration, velocity, wheel size, traction (tire surface contact to track), torque from engine, horsepower. Are some of the things needed to know.\n\nYour best bet is start with a kit for a given class of race car and build and learn from that. Start with a Go-Kart.

you left out some info.-kind of race track-kind of race team. NASCAR will not grantee you a race date, so you will have to hold other kinds of races to get started if you want into NASCAR. The easiest way to get a team is to buy one out,or just start buying up what you need-building,tools,cars,shop equipment-hire personal,and a driver. Check with NASCAR or Indy League for all of the rules to build and run a track and or race team...

Yep. I agree it has to be the technical side of it. But for a newbie? It would be that F1 is the pinnacle of motor sport and a true World Championship (literally) with races on specifically designed tracks (not ovals) from China to Monaco to Germany.

Start at your local racetrack, find local businesses who are interested in sponsoring a team.But the most important thing is to find someone who will show you the ropes, go to a driving school, but a lot of the drivers started from the ground up, go-carts, modifieds, etc. Find a machine shop or some business that deals in race parts.But the thing is to get your face and name out there to be recognized, because with most things, it's WHO you know as well as your talent.You can be the greatest racer, but have no personality and you have to SELL,SELL,SELL!
