You must have had this many times before...

but can someone please give me a quick guide to getting started in motorsport. I'm into bikes and cars but have decided that cars is the way for now. I'm interested in track racing probably in road-legal cars. And it's got to be cheap!

Where do I start? There are probably plenty of web resources out there but I can't find them.

Sorry to trouble you all with something you always get pestered for, but can you please point me in the right direction and recommend what I should do next.

Thanks Stig. Those were the sort of costs I was anticipating. That's why I've waited years until I have some money available for this.

What about karting? Or is that really for youngsters (I don't want to look too out of place!)

Sprinting is against the clock on a tarmac surface right? Similar to hillclimbs.

Yes that would be a good starting point as I'm probably too late to go circuit racing this year. Any more you can tell me about getting into this?

I've looked at the website for the Club100 karting series. This looks like the easiest way of trying motorsport. Anyone got any experience of it?

Think I'll sign up anyway. Nothing ventured...
