How to get into racing?
Discussion
Hi all,
I am 26 years old and have loved cars since being very young. I now run a lovely 4Ltr TVR Chimaera, my first properly fast car (Hyundai Coupe 2Ltr before) and love it. I also do a lot of the work myself and love the mechanicals of cars such as full disc and pad changes, major servicing, pump changes, general servicing, brake upgrading etc.
I have always been ultra competitive and loved sand buggying and karting and would like to look at options of getting into competitive motorsport. What options are open to me, where is best to start? I am 6Ft 2" and weight about 94KG (used to be 105kg!).
I want to be comeptitive but don't want to spend fortunes.
How much time would it take? How many races per year take place for example and are they all in one go so over in about 4 months or spread through the year? Do you need money to win or can you do it without?
I know I sound very vague, I just don't have a clue!
