driving

Racing license would be a start.

Get in at the bottom, impress some people maybe,

Most drivers start off at Go-kart level and work there way up,the winnier of the Seat Leon Cupra R cup for example is usually gets promoted into the BTCC Seat team.

And to be in the Leon R cup you just need £70k to enter.

getting into motorsport , start young , ideally in karts , like most if not all the GP drivers and the most important thing is to have very rich parents

You could try sprints and hill sprints. Not quite as glamorous as BTCC but a lot of fun, no other cars on the track to bash into to start with.

Can be done on a little or as much as you want to spend.

You need a licence (non-race National B) from - MSA -

Let me point you in the direction of Welcome to the 750 Motor Club and look at the locost championship if you want to get into motorsport, its brilliant fun!

:) I've got a mate thats a current BTCC driver and i'm sure he would agree with that - he's a bl**dy good driver but TBH he's struggling

I did sprints etc and they are great

Which driver ? (just wondering ;) ). Its a very competitive championship and you'd need a bottomless pit in terms of cash.

Btw I'd say there was fun after round 2 of Btcc in knockhill, plenty of damage $$$$ :)

:)

BTW what ever you do ..... don't upset the scrutineers .... we're mean when provoked:rofl:

Or the clerk of the course , because they are even meaner IMHO :D

Start with a 'large fortune'
