Depends on the kind of motorsport

>>14077391
Basically, some rich bloke wants to race so he buys a car.

Then he realises he cant drive, do he hires a driver.

Then he realises that he cant support the driver during races, so he hires a pit crew.

Then he realises hes a woeful strategist, so he hires a race control team.

Etc etc.

i like the style of this answer very much, thank you.

>do drivers from the same team compete with each other?
yes, but one typically gets better shit while the other is more of a tester

>what do the teams get out of the whole deal?
marketing for your brand. but making money isn't the goal. the racing is the goal.
beating rival car manufactures / tuners is the goal.

>who supplies the cars to the drivers?
the team they drive for

>>14077621

Then the rich guy wants to stop spending so much, so he gets his team sponsored.

>>14077391
This is a pretty fast board, you just have to be in the right thread

>>14077645
There's also many different disciplines that have different requirements, both in the type of car and driver, and cash flow. "Grassroots" racing like autocross is very popular because of the relatively small investment needed, but it's also near impossible to make it to the professional level by just doing that.
