Auto Racing: formula 1 racing, formula 1 racing, go kart


Question
hello, I'm trying to start a carrier in formula 1 racing and have heard that i need to start at go-carting. I have always wanted to race, and need help in starting this new carrier, can you please help me?

I'm 15 years old and want to know; were to i start my formula 1 carrier?

Answer
I am sorry but Formula1 is not a carrier that you start and you are there. It works like this you start go-karting at the age of 6 or 7 maybe even 8 and you have a chance to have a racing carrier, 15 is a little to late and if you get anywhere you will be racing against kids that have won national championships at the age of 10 or so, but if you no this is truly what you want to do, buy a go-kart between the range of 5-7 thousand dollars and take it to a track practice everyday or every other day get good, join tournaments win maybe even get sponsored and win some more, move up the racing ladder to better races and tournaments go to a racing school i recommend skip barber, do all this but really think it threw, i was mad at my self because i had started racing late as well at 14. all that you need to no is to never give up and always practice.

thank you for your question
