Not sure what tracks they have in India?  Check out some bike web sites, but the best thing to do is finish what you studying just incase the bike puts a end a future you currently busy in, then take a few trips to London where you can get used to Brands Hatch and Silverstone, if money is not the option move to the U.K. and get into the standard biking class where some of the big sponsers might be able to help. Get the Doctors auto biography and read how he did it, that is why i am sure he stays in the U.K. as all the big guys sponser wise is from there.  Sounds like you really are passionate about it so thats the best way to begin, maybe check out some bike shops in the U.K. and see if you can get a job from them first and work as a pit crew if the shop has one.  Im from South Africa and support Vale too, but from here most of our top riders go to the U.K. live out of trailors and try and get there name into the sport as soon as they can as it becomes for costly but then again as i said if money isnt the option go over and follow what you dream of doing, i think all bike riders like myself would like to be like all the top riders!!!  It takes alot serious hard work but GO 4 IT!!!!

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.

It depends on what type of racing you want to do.  In bike racing, some of the different types of racing are:\n1) road (road races, time trials, criteriums)  Triathlon could also be in here.\n2) mtb (cross country, downhill, slalom and four cross\n3) cyclocross\n4) bmx\n5) track (fixed gear, you can't coast!)\n\nIf you can be more specific, I am happy to help.  What type of racing?  You looking for brands?  What's your budget and experience?  \n\nIf you are in the market, your best option is to go into your LOCAL bike shop and find an experienced and knowledgable sales person.  This way, you can test different types/brands of bikes, and then they can help you with all service needs, like customizing the fit, and doing tune-ups in the future.

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.

motocross bikes are pretty expensive. i'd suggest getting them off ebay. if you don't have a motocross track where you live, you can change out the tires. \n        + a good thing is you don't need a license.

You can earn your way in, as there are several levels of racing going all the way down to go-carts. As you prove yourself at different levels, you move up and, if you're good enough, will get noticed. Having a family in the sport can expidite the process though, as you already have connections to the people making decisions.

do you watch the X games? The motoX events are all done on 'dirtbikes'. Its basically a stripped down motorcycle for use on rough terrain, like was mentioned earlier.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy.  we have been racing for 14 years now & are constatnly looking for sponsers.  It requires very good people skills & basically selling yourself as a product.  You and your car will represent whichever company sponsers you.  It requires meeting a lot of people & a lot of knocking on strangers doors. I'd start with auto parts stores.  Also, we have made some deals with our favorite resturants & companies that we work for.  It helps to put together a portfolio about yourself & your racing achivements. Also - your sponsers might want you to bring your race car down so that can can view what condition your equipment is in & also, on days that the comapny has a big sale or open house, they might want you to bring the car down so that their customers can see it also.

to the best of my knowledge from observing, you have to be sponsored by some league and qualify in their national and world competitions.  i'm sure it is tough, but go for it!

Try going 300 times in a racecar on the track. You will be lucky if you can stand the pressure on you mind and body for 100 of those. It is physical activity. Try it some time- go to the Richard Petty Drivers School or one like it. You will change your mind fast. As far as being a "sport" it is more demanding than football or basketball or baseball. Try it before you knock it. As far as the other posters- you do not know what you are talking about.

There are many. BUT, something many people not know, Briggs & Stratton is one of the World's largest manufacture's of Race Engines. Ha!!! Fire up the Lawn Mower!!! Go here: http://www.briggsracing.com/display/router.asp?docid=101243  After you check out their Engines then click on the Tabs across the top. Getting Started will give you links to various Go-kart Associations. Read around and see if you can find some sources. Remember when somthing says Racing it means Expensive. For a first kart I would read as much as I can and see how they making them. Find a race close and go look and talk to people. You may find it cheap and easy to Build your own cart or find a Cool Minded Welder that may help.......Tell him to Sponsor you with a free frame, maybe you buy the materials he furnish labor, Learn to Wheel and Deal and EDUCATE your potiential sponsors (Plural) with exciting Go-kart Racing Tidbits.!!!!! IF, you know something you stand a better chance of getting a few Sponsors that may help with some of your expense. IF, you not read and talk and learn, no one will sponser you. Then scarf a B&S Raptor Bolt that bad boy down and Zoom Zoom, you be racing. Good Luck!! Oh!! Get a Helment, and Gloves look professional, act professional and WIN!!!!!!

For road racing, check the local clubs  You may need to drive 4 hours or more to find the tracks that the clubs run at but that's really the place to start.\n\nGet their rule book cause you need to set up a bike to pass tech (safety wire, tape lights, numbers..etc), as well as get the required safety gear (helmet, gloves, leathers, boots).\n\nTake the beginners school which normally happens on part of a Friday and all day Saturday.  If all goes well, he'll have his first race that Sunday.\n\nFrom there you acquire points not just for chapionships but to go to certain levels of experience from Novice to Provisional Expert to Expert to Pro.  It's different from club to club.  At certain point totals or experience levels, he can then run regional events. if he has enough points to become a pro he can then run at the national level.
