Its always been my dream to become a race car driver, now that Im at the point in my life where this type of thing is now available for me to do. Does anywhere know like where I can start, like a school or just to get my name out there...I wanna do the touring class racing series, or something like that. Any pointers or anything would really help.

I know there was a school you could go to that would let you learn on an F1 team, first fixing and building the cars, then learning to drive them...
I forget the name

To deny the simple pleasures in life is to desire death in the most horrifing way.

step one: race go karts from the age of 2 step two: win all your races againsed kids untill your 19 step three: become pro
you wont be able to do it unless you've been racing your whole life...
these kids that turn pro have grown up racing.
