I can’t lie, being a 16 year old who was told that he was talented enough his entire life, who ran out of money aged 12, and who 4 years later is thinking about how I could still get onto that ladder, this video might be the best and most relatable I’ve ever watched. Thank you.
@@gunnarray2342 Not a good idea to expect having the skillset for F1, you'll easily disappoint yourself. It's a big world out there and just as he says in the video: start small and eat dirt for a few years lol Edit: Also it's not necessary to go to Europe. There are thousands of racing series all over the world to start of with. Maybe on a certain level you could start looking for a few international championships in Europe like F3 or whatever but for starters where ever you are there's bound to be some racing going on to start of with
1 year ago at a friend's birthday party (at some e-karts) i got in touch with the sport and started dreaming about racing, now i'm working my rally driving career; the other day (1 year later - now i'm 36) i competed on my first amateur race - available at my channel-, and in the meantime, i've been learning, studying and training... That is how i actually got to know your channel. You are a huge inspiration. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Enzo!
Awesome video Enzo, such great advice. This is all spot on. I wish UA-cam was around when I started! I saved £2.50 an hour to buy a kart at 15 and ended up in Aston Martin GT with no help at all from my parents the whole way through. I used to cycle 15 miles to the tracks carrying my kart engine. I can tell you all that this is video is how to do it.
Thank you for this video. I’m 14 and I’ve been go karting since I was 6, and just now am starting to get serious on how I am going to become a race car driver. This video helped me find a good path to that dream
Awesome information, Enzo. I've just sent off my first proposal using the advice and material provided in your Get The Drive program so I'm very thankful that I'm involved with it. The company I sent it to has already expressed interest so I'll be sure to let you know how it goes! Although I have some karting experience and have done some full-size car racing in the past, I'm also wanting to start small and get more miles under my belt. A beginning goal for me is the Skip Barber Racing Series here in the U.S. Their school is second to none and upon completion, you become eligible to race in their championship. They offer prizes, scholarships, and various rewards in this series and it has served as a successful stepping stone for many professional drivers. To run the series for the entire year costs $35k in the Formula car and $30k if you want to run the MX-5. They provide the car, service and even the gear if you don't have it. All the driver has to do is show up. It really doesn't get much better than that when you're just starting out here in the States. I've also made a list of several local companies that I plan to reach out to and have made a proposal which offers various sponsorship options from product to tens of thousands of dollars. Even though I haven't gone anywhere yet with this, I'm very thankful to have come across your work, Enzo. It feels good knowing that I'm at least working towards something instead of hoping it'll happen one day. I'll probably never stop saying thank you. If you ever make it down to Dallas, TX, give me a shout!

Gotta be fast and have money. Then on top of that you gotta find sponsorship. I’ve raced with karting drivers who can probably keep up with F1 and Indycar drivers. But it’s all about money and who you know. Being fast is only the start.
as a club racing driver of 25 years, the key thing you need even before embarking on a low level championship is practice, you need to be in a car all the time. Particularly if you have not raced anything before. My advise would be, go to a race school, meet some people, see if you like it. Buy a track car ( doesn't have to be fast but should be reliable) and do trackdays aiming for 200 track miles a day x10 days, then after at least one year you might then be ready to do the low level championship and win. Otherwise you'll spend all the money you have and be even further away from the dream as you've essentially proven you're not a winner because you won't have had the experience.
You know I never really thought about what I wanted to do as a profession until today and being a professional race driver popped up in the back of my head because I’ve always kinda thought maybe I could do that as a profession because I’ve always had a thing for cars and racing, so I’m glad I saw this video so if I choose to follow this path this will be a great reference
the ONLY tip to becoming a "professional" race driver is (drum roll)........ ******MONEY***** that's all you will EVER need. you don't even have to be talented. you can't start a racing series with great drivers. you start a racing series with below average drivers with RICH parents. then an above average driver comes along and then he becomes a STAR!! the above average driver rules like a king. then out of the blue, an undeniably, very talented, SUPERSTAR comes along and slips through the cracks somehow and catches a FINANCIAL break. he of course out drives EVERYONE, and he becomes a GOD! all others are now being judged and compared to HIM...
Hey Enzo, I am from Nepal where a career in motorsport is not even an option! No tracks and no racing environment. I am 17 now and I am moving out next year..... I am planning to go to a country where Motorsport is respected and opportunities are numerous. Your videos have inspired me a lot but I still want to be realistic.... do you think it is possible for me to have a future in Motorsport if I start at this age???
I dont know if someone might reply of not.. but.. here it goes. I am 24 years old.. completed my MBBS in India. I.. from the time i can remember have always wanted to be a professional circuit racer but I dont have any idea how to start working to this. If anyone can help.. that would be really really kind of you. Thankyou..
bro is you wanna be a race car driver you gotta start small, develop a body to maintain your height and weight and make sure your neck and all is very strong. If money is a problem try getting loans from banks or use your MBBS salary money and start late. Professional racecar drivers are around 30-40 years old even though they started at 5-8 years old
@@anshumanarora4984 Mbbs in India is not going to cut it to practice medicine elsewhere, he's gonna have to get qualified in Europe, and that will cost him a shit load of money. Not to piss on anyone's dream, but the means do justify the ends and this is a pipe dream .
I just turned 17 and i have never thought id wanna be a F1 driver but i just went to my first karting thing today and i went to see if i would really wanna be a “professional driver” and oh my gosh it made me so happy that i got a career i would really love to pursue . So what im still struggling with is , where do i even start ? Do i need race school ? A certain school for F1 ? Please help me somebody . Thank you !
This is great, but what I want to know is how do you get a drive even if you have the money and everything. How would you get a deal with whatever team in the first place. How do you go about buying a car or getting a contract anyway?
Would it be a big problem if I wanted to become an Indycar driver/racer (or whatever you wanna call it) if I live in England?, I’m 14 and I don’t know where to start as the main thing over here is formula 1 so I don’t know if there’s a particular karting place I need to go (because Indycar tracks make you do a left turn and F1 do both left and right turns), it kinda sad as Indy and nascar isn’t really recognised over here
I remember when i was 17 or 18, living in brooklyn in a poor/middle-class family I was told I had to be in a wealthy family to be a professional racer... sadly i let that kill my dream while I was young and served time in the army infantry instead... I'm a software engineer now at 35 and I still have my heart calling me to race... I play sims all the time, games, and even go-kart now... I am very curious if I can maybe somehow find out if I am rare talent for the profession of racing. Can I still make that dream happen at this age...?
Please help,I also want to become a racing driver,but there is literally no motorsports of any kind in my environment. Literally,there is nothing. No race tracks,no karting...nothing!! Advice...please
Let's be honest most of us are here cuz we ain't got money and we are talented but also we gotta consider in this only 20 people will make it to F1 or if you want any othertop-tiere racing like Nascar,Indycar,Touring in most of them only 20 drivers are racing and most of teams prefer experienced drivers so that would make it ten and considering all top-tier motorsports in the world that Maximum are like 15 only 150 people will make it to the top step so being talented is not only necessary it is being better than other talented people and that is actually all
Hi Sir!!! I'm an Automotive Design student and always wanted to become a professional racing driver whether it is formula1, LMPs, formulaE and etc. Because I'm now in UK and pursuing my Masters @ Coventry University, I thought that here I will have some opportunity and eminities around me to made my dream come true. Please provide me some of the initiative approached steps to start my career towards becoming a professional driver. Please Sir!!!
Sorry to say it mate but if you're at university that ship has long since sailed for you. Every F1 driver on the grid has been driving since long before they were teenagers.
Since i remeber myself i love cars and racing...i am 20 yrs old i will start kart at genk at 21...and i will manage to have about 1 - 1,5 M.Can i join the f1 or f2 ?I mean i dont have the problem with the money....my problem is the age...
How did you get a bank loan? Would banks give you a loan to go to a Racing School? Even for 1, 2, or even 3 day? In the US, Allen Berg has a Racing School but it’s expensive, $6.5k for 3 days. I’m also 24, so being able to get a start will be hard, but I’m also curious to see how far I can go.
I just applied for it for a car purchase. I would not recommend getting a bank loan because you will be in the hole before you even start, I did the bank loan twice but the second time I regretted it because I could only manage to do half a season of racing, but had to keep paying that loan off for 5 years after, that was painful.
Hi Enzo Mucci, My name is Aryan. I have a lot of experience in kart racing. I want to become a Formula 1 Driver. I have one question. How can I take part in a karting championship? I can't find any in the environment I am in.
I'm 19 a real estate entrepreneur, I've made good money. All I need is some advice where to go what to do. Some one point in the right direction. I have the money. What do I do now!
I’m 15 nearly 16 and had this sudden ambition of wanting to become a racer preferably circuit racing, it’s been in my head for quite a while but it’s only now where I’ve been greatly interested. Can anyone help me out and give me advice on where to start? I live in Europe and not rich. Lots of people say that to become a racer you need to be rich, which frustrates me kind of.
I'm going to take go-karting on some time this week or next week thanks to this video! I was that person sitting in my room looking at the dream but not doing anything toward it. This video instantly changed my mind, thank you!
I’m 17 and I been racing go carts for a while I’m good and I just don’t know how to actually become a race bc I race in little places that people go Just to have fun but my dream is a race car driver and have no place to start at all
Hey men, I'm karting every day for 2 months now. I'm Dutch and currently I live on the Island of Mallorca. I broke the track record at the kart track of Can Picafort (karts go 90 km/h). And I broke the track record of Kartmania (80 km/h). I want to make the step to cars ASAP. I'm 23 years old. I eat mostly fruits and nuts, and I'm fit. I plank vor 28 minutes each day except sunday. And I always keep on stretching my limits. Do you think it's better to save money for a mini or for a ginetta? Or do you have other advice about what you think is best to do? I read a lot about the best steps to take for a professional career. But different things are being said. I'd love to skype with you to show you my commitment. Much love, Abraham (Bram) Smeets
I'm 19 years old I I live in Africa, there's no racing enthusiasms, I'm looking forward to come study in the UK, my question is how would I start to become a formula 1 driver I have no budget
I’m only 13 and I want to become a race car driver like my father, but I’m still young and I really want to become a race car driver. I have been participating in races, but I always landed 10th place. Is it normal to feel like I should give up? Or should I not give up?
i like race but in tunisia we don't have that kind of sport cars , from my 10 years old i dream about formula 1 to be famous and be the most popular but what can i say i love my country but i don't know how to atteint my dream , i'm a good racer i do drift also i have a sport car and i do sometimes some karting competition i'm a professional racer i admit what can i do to atteint my dream can you help me before i die without achieving my dream i will be thankful ..!!!
I am a f3 driver and it’s never to late don’t give up on your dream I still work hard trying to make it higher up any questions ask away I’ll see if I can help :)
yeah i have one .Am 16 years old now and i want to become an f1 Driver is it to late? i've done Karting when i was Little but then stopped (idk why) so i have all Basic knowlege i think
I’m afraid someone needs to pay for that car and team. Get into eSports, do some fun karting, and work your tail off to save up over the next 3 years to afford some cheap car racing. Then you take things from there.
Mate today with your computer you can make money ! Dropshipping, creating a brand or even investing in stocks is a simple way to make money. It’s simple but not easy. You’ll need to watch lots if tutorials for this
Yeah definitely go for it, I just started last year and I was 16 as well. And tbf I didn't do well but it was a great experience and I learned so much just from 3 races. I'm looking to start my 2nd year with a much better knowledge base and what I can definitely say is that the knowledge you gain from the Karting environment is extremely valuable in every way. So yeah definitely worth the try 💪👍
Hey can i get some advice, I'm 13 I can already drive I drive my dads car but I can't race and I live in the Philippines there's not much races in here what should I do my parents has a history of engineering but they want me to be an architect ISO to but my passion is cars and racing what should I do
I dont really need 200 grand to start i just need to pay a karting team $1000 per month. But i dont have it. Is it ok if i start in a rental kart c'ship.could i get sponsors from a rental kart c'ship
Hi. Yes it is totally ok to start with rental karting. Getting outside sponsorship isn’t normally possible because there is no commercial value in it for them, so sponsorship from family members or just hustling in life to earn that $1,000 per month is normally what drivers do. Flipping things on Facebook Marketplace, working a night job and getting money in the old fashioned way is what most drivers will do for these championships. All the best KS
This depends what your goal is. If it is to become a professional race driver then once you are old enough the drive cars, then you may as well go straight to cars. If you just want to have fun then there is no age limit
Thank you for this I'm black and I want to be a formula 1 driver and I have the talent can you help me figure out how to get my name out there can I get advice please because I really want to achieve my dreams if you can give me advice thank you so much God bless. Btw nice video thank you.

that's all you will EVER need. you don't even have to be talented. you can't start a racing series with great drivers. you start a racing series with below average drivers with RICH parents. then an above average driver comes along and then he becomes a STAR!! the above average driver rules like a king. then out of the blue, an undeniably, very talented, SUPERSTAR comes along and slips through the cracks somehow and catches a FINANCIAL break. he of course out drives EVERYONE, and he becomes a GOD! all others are now being judged and compared to HIM...
Great Video Enzo, thanks for the great advice!
Hey Enzo, I am from Nepal where a career in motorsport is not even an option! No tracks and no racing environment. I am 17 now and I am moving out next year..... I am planning to go to a country where Motorsport is respected and opportunities are numerous. Your videos have inspired me a lot but I still want to be realistic.... do you think it is possible for me to have a future in Motorsport if I start at this age???
Enzo Mucci thank you so much !! I will do what you have told 😊😊
Thank you it was really a valuable lessons for me
I dont know if someone might reply of not.. but.. here it goes. I am 24 years old.. completed my MBBS in India. I.. from the time i can remember have always wanted to be a professional circuit racer but I dont have any idea how to start working to this. If anyone can help.. that would be really really kind of you.
Thankyou..
bro is you wanna be a race car driver you gotta start small, develop a body to maintain your height and weight and make sure your neck and all is very strong. If money is a problem try getting loans from banks or use your MBBS salary money and start late. Professional racecar drivers are around 30-40 years old even though they started at 5-8 years old
you are mbbs. join F1 as a doctor. make contacts earn money. the get in to it.
@@anshumanarora4984 Mbbs in India is not going to cut it to practice medicine elsewhere, he's gonna have to get qualified in Europe, and that will cost him a shit load of money. Not to piss on anyone's dream, but the means do justify the ends and this is a pipe dream .
Thx for going this
I know I already commented on this video but thank you for helping people like me
@@EnzoMucci thanks for the motivation 🙂👍
Thanks bro really helpful
I just turned 17 and i have never thought id wanna be a F1 driver but i just went to my first karting thing today and i went to see if i would really wanna be a “professional driver” and oh my gosh it made me so happy that i got a career i would really love to pursue . So what im still struggling with is , where do i even start ? Do i need race school ? A certain school for F1 ? Please help me somebody . Thank you !
This is great, but what I want to know is how do you get a drive even if you have the money and everything. How would you get a deal with whatever team in the first place. How do you go about buying a car or getting a contract anyway?
Would it be a big problem if I wanted to become an Indycar driver/racer (or whatever you wanna call it) if I live in England?, I’m 14 and I don’t know where to start as the main thing over here is formula 1 so I don’t know if there’s a particular karting place I need to go (because Indycar tracks make you do a left turn and F1 do both left and right turns), it kinda sad as Indy and nascar isn’t really recognised over here
Enzo Mucci ok thank you👌👍
this is my exact position too. im the same age and same position but dont know if itll be easy to want to becoma an indycar driver... any advice?
Thank you so much
I wanted to drive for Ferrari, got into a fight with my parents today, so I wanted to get some advice and I really liked it.
RESPECT ✊
This is real for me man. I dont see the brigde to pass.poor me😔😔
I remember when i was 17 or 18, living in brooklyn in a poor/middle-class family I was told I had to be in a wealthy family to be a professional racer... sadly i let that kill my dream while I was young and served time in the army infantry instead... I'm a software engineer now at 35 and I still have my heart calling me to race... I play sims all the time, games, and even go-kart now... I am very curious if I can maybe somehow find out if I am rare talent for the profession of racing. Can I still make that dream happen at this age...?
J E how’s it going? I’m 29 and I feel a calling to Motorsport
I’m 13 and I have big dreams for being and F1 driver. I have little racing experience or any clue how to really start. This video helped, thanks!
Please help,I also want to become a racing driver,but there is literally no motorsports of any kind in my environment. Literally,there is nothing. No race tracks,no karting...nothing!! Advice...please
Let's be honest most of us are here cuz we ain't got money and we are talented but also we gotta consider in this only 20 people will make it to F1 or if you want any othertop-tiere racing like Nascar,Indycar,Touring in most of them only 20 drivers are racing and most of teams prefer experienced drivers so that would make it ten and considering all top-tier motorsports in the world that Maximum are like 15 only 150 people will make it to the top step so being talented is not only necessary it is being better than other talented people and that is actually all
this video gave me really much motivation to go out an find sponsors. Like and subsribe from me. Thank you:D
Hi Sir!!!
I'm an Automotive Design student and always wanted to become a professional racing driver whether it is formula1, LMPs, formulaE and etc. Because I'm now in UK and pursuing my Masters @ Coventry University, I thought that here I will have some opportunity and eminities around me to made my dream come true.
Please provide me some of the initiative approached steps to start my career towards becoming a professional driver.
Please Sir!!!
Sorry to say it mate but if you're at university that ship has long since sailed for you. Every F1 driver on the grid has been driving since long before they were teenagers.
You have your own book on display in the background. Is is autographed as well? LawL
Awesome , but can you tell me an example of the Mazda MX-5 championship that is in Germany ??
Since i remeber myself i love cars and racing...i am 20 yrs old i will start kart at genk at 21...and i will manage to have about 1 - 1,5 M.Can i join the f1 or f2 ?I mean i dont have the problem with the money....my problem is the age...
How did you get a bank loan? Would banks give you a loan to go to a Racing School? Even for 1, 2, or even 3 day? In the US, Allen Berg has a Racing School but it’s expensive, $6.5k for 3 days.
I’m also 24, so being able to get a start will be hard, but I’m also curious to see how far I can go.
I just applied for it for a car purchase. I would not recommend getting a bank loan because you will be in the hole before you even start, I did the bank loan twice but the second time I regretted it because I could only manage to do half a season of racing, but had to keep paying that loan off for 5 years after, that was painful.
Hi Enzo Mucci, My name is Aryan. I have a lot of experience in kart racing. I want to become a Formula 1 Driver. I have one question. How can I take part in a karting championship? I can't find any in the environment I am in.
where are you from? try find the nearest karting club to you and visit the place.
Hey Amir! Where do you live? Finding a karting championship can be hard depending on location, but we are happy to help if we can!
I'm 19 a real estate entrepreneur, I've made good money. All I need is some advice where to go what to do. Some one point in the right direction. I have the money. What do I do now!
SlickRickTheRuler sponser on me take that chsnce
I’m 15 nearly 16 and had this sudden ambition of wanting to become a racer preferably circuit racing, it’s been in my head for quite a while but it’s only now where I’ve been greatly interested. Can anyone help me out and give me advice on where to start? I live in Europe and not rich. Lots of people say that to become a racer you need to be rich, which frustrates me kind of.
Enzo Mucci thanks you! I’ll be sure to check something out. Do you know of any books? Guides? Anything that relates to racing.
I don't care what championship I got to drive, I just wanna race.
Is go-karting a good way to 'practice' until you are old enough to drive?
Thanks for the fast reply! What should you start with when you can drive? Track days?
I'm going to take go-karting on some time this week or next week thanks to this video! I was that person sitting in my room looking at the dream but not doing anything toward it. This video instantly changed my mind, thank you!
I’m 17 and I been racing go carts for a while I’m good and I just don’t know how to actually become a race bc I race in little places that people go
Just to have fun but my dream is a race car driver and have no place to start at all
*Karts
I wanted to get into formula E
What if your country has 0 racing championships or tournaments, not even a karting place in the whole country?
Thnx brother♥️
Hey men, I'm karting every day for 2 months now. I'm Dutch and currently I live on the Island of Mallorca. I broke the track record at the kart track of Can Picafort (karts go 90 km/h). And I broke the track record of Kartmania (80 km/h). I want to make the step to cars ASAP. I'm 23 years old. I eat mostly fruits and nuts, and I'm fit. I plank vor 28 minutes each day except sunday. And I always keep on stretching my limits. Do you think it's better to save money for a mini or for a ginetta? Or do you have other advice about what you think is best to do? I read a lot about the best steps to take for a professional career. But different things are being said. I'd love to skype with you to show you my commitment. Much love, Abraham (Bram) Smeets
Realy good video
19 idk where to start
Woow! lovin this vid😍
Is there a way to contact you for more specific questions?
I'm 19 years old I I live in Africa, there's no racing enthusiasms, I'm looking forward to come study in the UK, my question is how would I start to become a formula 1 driver I have no budget
Im going to be a Formula 1 driver
If you're 19 and havent driven competitively you're never becoming an f1 driver. Most current f1 drivers started before they were 9 nevermind 19
I’ve never been in a race car but I want to get into it where do I start?? I need help!
@@EnzoMucci thank you
I’m only 13 and I want to become a race car driver like my father, but I’m still young and I really want to become a race car driver. I have been participating in races, but I always landed 10th place. Is it normal to feel like I should give up? Or should I not give up?
never give up
how much is formula ford ?
Awesome video! But is it too late to start when you are 16 years old?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS NOT
i like race but in tunisia we don't have that kind of sport cars , from my 10 years old i dream about formula 1 to be famous and be the most popular but what can i say i love my country but i don't know how to atteint my dream , i'm a good racer i do drift also i have a sport car and i do sometimes some karting competition i'm a professional racer i admit what can i do to atteint my dream can you help me before i die without achieving my dream i will be thankful ..!!!
I am a f3 driver and it’s never to late don’t give up on your dream I still work hard trying to make it higher up any questions ask away I’ll see if I can help :)
yeah i have one .Am 16 years old now and i want to become an f1 Driver is it to late? i've done Karting when i was Little but then stopped (idk why) so i have all Basic knowlege i think
@@th3only113 yeah it's far too late. Most current f1 drivers raced karts competitively before they were even teenagers.
@@th3only113 No it’s not mate. Take a look at Jake Hughes, started at 16 too.
I am 14 years old and i cannot afford a gokart. Is there another way to reach wec or F1?
I’m afraid someone needs to pay for that car and team. Get into eSports, do some fun karting, and work your tail off to save up over the next 3 years to afford some cheap car racing. Then you take things from there.
Mate today with your computer you can make money ! Dropshipping, creating a brand or even investing in stocks is a simple way to make money. It’s simple but not easy. You’ll need to watch lots if tutorials for this
Is it too late to consider karting at the age of 16? I'd love to be a F1 driver one day.
SUB ZERO no not really, I’m 15 and starting soon but even being as old as 20 can have benefits if done right
Yeah definitely go for it, I just started last year and I was 16 as well.
And tbf I didn't do well but it was a great experience and I learned so much just from 3 races.
I'm looking to start my 2nd year with a much better knowledge base and what I can definitely say is that the knowledge you gain from the Karting environment is extremely valuable in every way.
So yeah definitely worth the try 💪👍
Im starting at 16 too. My parents never let me start karting so i got a job and just bought a kart with a lo206
Hey can i get some advice, I'm 13 I can already drive I drive my dads car but I can't race and I live in the Philippines there's not much races in here what should I do my parents has a history of engineering but they want me to be an architect ISO to but my passion is cars and racing what should I do
@@EnzoMucci thank you so much
I dont really need 200 grand to start i just need to pay a karting team $1000 per month. But i dont have it. Is it ok if i start in a rental kart c'ship.could i get sponsors from a rental kart c'ship
Hi. Yes it is totally ok to start with rental karting. Getting outside sponsorship isn’t normally possible because there is no commercial value in it for them, so sponsorship from family members or just hustling in life to earn that $1,000 per month is normally what drivers do. Flipping things on Facebook Marketplace, working a night job and getting money in the old fashioned way is what most drivers will do for these championships. All the best KS
@@EnzoMucci thanks enzo
I race in rotax max challenge Germany with the official Birel ART team
What age do you think it would be too late to start karting?
This depends what your goal is. If it is to become a professional race driver then once you are old enough the drive cars, then you may as well go straight to cars. If you just want to have fun then there is no age limit
@@EnzoMucci thank you
How much I need to spend?
How do you move your race car from race to race?
By a trailer, it can be a bit costly cos you need a trailer and/or a car/van to pull it.
am 16 i live in guyana and i want to be a f1 racer what can i do
At age of 25 can I start the career?
From where ?
How?

@@EnzoMucci thanks Enzo for the heads up 👍
I'm 15, I'm not being big headed but I'm quite good at karting and could kinda afford it, what now ?
How is it I’m 15 too and want to start karting was it hard? Would love to start f4
@@saints_ no, it's good you just have to be good at it
@@sheff__8273 also you should check with someone else but if you want to make it to the next step maybe look for sponsors to afford getting into f4 and you might need some liscense
@@saints_ yeah definitely, I'm going to have a very good go at it and my parents have both agreed to it
@@sheff__8273 nice tell me how it goes
I am a very talented kart driver but I live in Macedonia,here we don't have any kart races,can someone help me to become a F1 driver
