Can anyone tell me about starting my own racing team?

I probs wont be starting one i just wanted to know how hard it is and im generally curious.

I mean can you start one with little money and get the money for everything for say a typical 24hr race by getting sponsors??

Im curious!

Little money + racing team are two words you will never hear together, other than scumball type events.

This may be better in general motorsport.
But wouldnt you be able if you had enough sponsors to get all the money you need?

The difficulty normally lies with attracting those sponsors, sadly. Especially in a recession.
Thats a good point but there must be a way of doing it with like no money?

your best bet would be to become a mechanic and build up lots of contacts and experience in high end motorsport, then use this to help you and start off as just a self employed mech and then work your way into having a workshop etc, eventually you will have a team
Thats more what i wanted to hear thank you.
