>dirt rally

You /can/ do it on a budget if you pick the right class and stage (absolute beginner shit)
Get yourself a cheap functioning shitheap focus/civic/mini whatever just make sure its a fwd hatch (you are a beginner so you start at the bottom)
Dont fool yourself into getting a 4wd or rwd for beginner rally
Strip it out all that shit
Spend money on good tyres and upgrade your susp
Do whatever to the engine just remember that handling upgrades ALWAYS come first
Oh yeah and you need a roll cage and some dumb licence depending on where you live

You could win every event you enter, and you still probably wouldn't even be breaking even.
The only way you can actually make money from driving in motorsport is by being so good that manufacturers are desperately trying to get you to drive for them, and good luck getting to that point if your first word wasn't "go-kart".
