Whats stopping you from becoming a race driver you cuck?

I'm a millennial, if I can't do something it's because everyone else has an unfair advantage. I could be whatever I want if trust funds, affirmative action, SJWs, etc. didn't exist.

A serious lack of rich parents and a time machine to start go karting 25 years ago.

BUDGET
I'm not wealthy enough nor do I attract as much attention as her to get ridiculous sponsorship

>>17793325
Money lots and lots of money. And rich parents.

The very method 90% of professional racers used to get where they are.

my parents didn't start me with karts when I was 5.

which is the only sure way to work your way into professional racing.

>>17793337
Yep, she's totally funding a racing career at 18 with her own money.

its still racing you black person. and it requires skill to get good at it, just like everything else. otherwise every "12 second" m3 i race wouldnt run a mid 14 at 120mph.

She was born rich like most other racers. The rest of us have to work 2 shitty ass jobs for years just to afford the education which will give us a livable wage in the first place.

Reality. I'm 24, tall and lengthy and generally not in good shape. I was born upper middle class but we could afford baseball league not kart racing. Furthermore I'm in Toronto area so where there's half decent go karts I haven't found. I did a summer camp at Indy 500 go karts but that's about the closet thing to kart racing around here. I had no one to suggest it let alone posh me into it.

Now I drive my 10 year old Honda fit like an F1 driver because they use too use the same kind of block but that's the closet I'll get because developed a cataract in 1 eye as a baby, had to get the lens removed, and the eyeball never fully developed. I have maybe 30% use out of it and since it's like 100/20 vis in, it's considered legally blind.

Now if anyone has a few million for some track time, tires, and depth perception I'll be the first one practicing at the 2018 Honda Indy

Nice blog there faggot, just so ya know, there is absolutely nothing in a Honda Fit engine block that is in any way related to a HONDA RA617H...

read the article heres what I found

>"At 13 years old, Aurora Straus enrolled in racing school. "

>"It’s been about five years since Straus heard that comment, which she can now brush off as “he meant well.” In those five years, she’s worked her way into the second-tier Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge on the IMSA ladder, taken up engineering and gotten accepted into Harvard University."

>"“I had always liked cars, but I wasn’t really an adrenaline junkie,” said Straus, whose father works at a private country club for racers, Monticello Motor Club, with a 4.1-mile asphalt road course north of New York City. “For some reason, racing changed me."

me: looks up "Monticello Motor Club Straus"
results: ARI STRAUS
CEO & MANAGING PARTNER of Monticello Motor Club

Goodwood kart track is really fucking good and in the GTA. CRKC racing league is $100/year plus $60/event and you need nothing other than to arrive. It's competitive, fun, and you learn a ton about actual wheel to wheel racing. Karts are also good too, 70km/h go karts as opposed to 30-40 at most rental places.

Err I do race at the grassroots level. I won the championship in my class this year but it's only a small local series and I'm the only one in a fully prepped car, everyone else is half-prepped and barely meets safety requirements.

No prize money so I'm fucking broke though.

>>17793795
I won't tell you the company because then you will probably be able to find me easily. My dad has a company that sells insurance policies. They got sued for 20 million for "minimizing the role of the attorney". After that we had to leave the state and file bankruptcy. They only got like 15% of the money they wanted from the lawsuit. Before then we were karting and 600cc sprint cars.

stay as mad poorfag that never got the opportunity

No opportunities unless you want to dump half your life's earnings into it on the off chance that you can compete at a worldwide level and actually take home a profit in prize and sponsorship money

I have a natural talent for motorcycles on pavement but there's nothing in the US if you want to develop that talent without flying to california and attending $2000 a day racing schools, and then flying to europe to participate in some races in which you rent 250cc track bikes for a few hundred grand and hope you don't crash when some italian scrub kicks you over for passing him.

My only chance, ever, was starting young so my parents would pay for all of it. Now I'm as old as my parents were when I could have had that chance and have the money, but no kids.

Seriously, racing requires you to get thrown in a kart when you're like 5 years old and participating in increasingly expensive shit until you're 18. It's not a sport for poorfags.

I have two DUIs, anyone know if that would matter?

>>17795902

While to race at the top level you need truckloads of money, passion goes a long way and there are lots of low budget ways to go racing.

Clapistanis can look into Spec E30/Miata or Chumpcar for example

I'm too old to do it professionally now. My parents probably had the funds back when I was young but I only got into cars when I got my license and drove wot on a decently powered car. I'll always wish I had spent my youth in a different way, not wasting away in front of a computer screen playing video games.

>>17796245
I do that's how I know poorfags can do it. The problem is most poorfags are poor because they are just bad with money.

Tfw as fast as the fastest in the country in karts on testing days but can't afford 5k every weekend to actually attend the races they do

>>17793841
You're full of shit bro.

We spent 50k a year karting and we were "small time". The traveling alone is in the tens of thousands. An F2000 ride is about $80k out of pocket not including getting there. Even regional karting events have literal 18 wheelers pulling into them. Let alone CIK Euro championship or something. They hone cylinders and replace top ends every time the kart is on the track. You cannot compete with talent or penny pinching.

The only way to be a professional in the current economy of racing is to be impossibly good and win literally everything riding the longest formula car scholarship wave in history from skip barber to indy lights. Like Scott Speed did. But, even he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in karting which is the prerequisite to get your talent in the first place.

It's not 1990 anymore. I've raced with plenty of people with raw talent and even some money that never made it past F2000 or Formula Ford. Meanwhile I know people who aren't good at all racing IMSA. Look at rahal.. he did nothing in karts. It's a pipe dream if you aren't rich that's just the reality.

Its funny, literally everyone says that until they've drag raced.

Drag racing in an automatic might not take skill as much as reflexes, but I can almost guarantee any random person thrown into a purpose built drag car would be lucky enough to get the car off the line, let alone hold their own. Most people would be completely dumbstruck by a Lenco trans.

Not to mention, drag racing is more about the build, which takes a lot of skill and time to be any decent.

I think you're just mad because everyone pulls on you from stoplights.

There's always dirt track racing

>fun
>cheap
>easy to get into

Just don't expect it to build into anything more, unless you happen to luck out and end up in Sprint Cars.

I'm from Germany tho, I spent a bit of time researching my options and it pretty much boiled down to consistency-challanges or slalom (conefagging) which allow near-stock and road legal cars, everything else requires a fully prepped, FIA conform car. Prices that got quoted were 20-25k€ for a car and 10k€ per year since you need to compete in a number of races to keep your racing license
