I always think about how James Hunt got into his Formula One racing career. He went to a race at the age of 17 with his friends. He saw that this was his passion and he was passionate about it. He spent his days working jobs and making just enough money to get his own car and begin. One thing I've learned is that you don't need to start racing right out of the womb. You don't need to be racing since 6 years old to succeed. You need natural talent and sheer skill and that means you need to be quick witted. You need to learn fast. It's one thing to be able to drive good but it's another thing to handle the G forces of going through corners for almost 2 hours. It's grueling and it's hard but it's possible. James Hunt won the world championship at 29 years of age and he started at 17. I'm getting into Motorsport and I believe it is possible. I don't want to be a Great Formula One driver or the next Dale Earnhardt. You have to offer something different to succeed and you have to trust yourself and trust the natural human ability to dream and to succeed. We are in an age where we are told we can't but we can. Good luck to anyone dreaming of a racing career. It isn't just about winning. It's also about losing and learning how to improve on your losses to win and work for it.

Omg man you are absolutely right! I’m almost 18 and I live in a world’s ass where there is only a $5 5min lap on karting. Or in a bigger track for $15 ten minutes. I always dreamt about being a racer and no matter what everyone says that it’s too late, it’s not. If you believe, really work hard, you can do this💪🏼 The biggest and one problem is that with F1 for example teams prefers younger drivers. But I think with some patients and persistence you can convince them! Also being oldest driver who didn’t drive from a cradle can be really hype. Me personally, would be really interesting to see battle between a new-old driver and verstappen😄 So anyone who read this. If you really want this, just try everything you can. Maybe it isn’t THAT impossible)😉

Karting is a great place to start and your parents are great. Be cautious with that money, but you don't need to hate spending it. Even if you never make it in motorsport as a driver, the determinism and humbling nature you need in racing will benefit you in any profession you might take.

That's why simracing helps, as it helps you realize that you might have potential. Been simracing for about a year, and am about to start kart racing, so hopefully I have the skill to race there and hopefully beyond.

@@No-yo8ll a huge thing is just going to local races. I’d recommend going to any local rally events you can just to talk with people and learn. If there aren’t many then also go to other disciplines, ie pro carting and junior series, a lot of folks will have family or friends in other categories. This is the best way to find what series/clubs exist in the local area, (look it up ofc but many have no online presence) and there are also amazing deals you can get on race ready bundles (car+stuff) from people moving or leaving that you would never find online. That’s more important than it seems, if you can get a car that’s already passed tech inspection and has all/most of the spares it needs, you will save a ton of time, headache, and money, that means you will make it to more races. You should definitely do some rallycross if they have it in your area, some of the folks there know a lot about the pro side of rally too. Rally is a pretty small discipline, which makes relationships even more important. Skill is learned, but if you are terrible to be around then you won’t get many seats. (The bar is low, a lot of kids raised in racing are insufferable lol) Also I’m assuming you don’t mean you can spend 50k/year on racing, if that’s the case then you are in a great position. I don’t know enough about progression in rally to tell you how to spend your money. The thing I will say is the sim is underrated, I highly recommend it. Find knowledgeable people, observe, get a car, race. Btw many cars can be sold for around their purchase price, so don’t worry too much about being stuck in whatever you start in, you can often upgrade to different classes/series pretty painlessly. If you are passionate about it, and are willing to work hard even when it isn’t fun, you will do well.

If you wanna get into a position where you get to talk to drivers/riders and stuff crash recovery is amazing. You get access to the paddock and hang out with the drivers (depending on which series your working for). I ended up taking over for a sick driver because I was good friends with the team boss and he knew I was a good driver. Just get into the world and it will help.

This sounds like good advice. I wish I was young enough to try some of these suggestions. Or that I had had this advice when I was younger.

THIS . IS . INSPIRING I'll try do see ya on the track!

Maybe some know bc of MotoGP. But i go to college in the Netherlands at the TT circuit. Its absolutely crazy. They got massive sponsors and they got their own kart team for the students

For me, I feel like I can pick things up, and if I put enough time and effort in I'd be good at it. However I haven't got the money to do most of them. I'm good at sailing, the only reason is because of cadets. Flying I'm alright at, but I've only logged one hour because of financial reasons. Racing is something I've wanted to do for a while, but I just don't have the money to do it full time. I don't even know if I'd be good at it, and I honestly don't enjoy having to speak to people, but that's a part of life. Maybe I'm just a quiet person, or I'm nervous. But what I do know, is that I can get things done when they need to be done.

Howdy Enzo, from watching your video it really opened my ears better on ways to get into the Driver Seat one day. But I have two questions, first what did you do/drive when you started out.

I’m 13 about to be 14 what I’m doing is just going to karting and I go from there because remember pacing your self is one of the most important things and also it’s not gonna happen quick but I can also relate

Hey, I’m also 14. To get to f4 you need to participate in karting comps and championships

Silly question regarding casual karting. Say someone (in the UK) did karting here and there, maybe during the F1 buzz, an odd weekend, for a lads meet up or even for a friend’s birthday party, if you did a handful of rounds but managed to show you are good at overtaking, good at taking the race line and generally being a good driver (respectful in terms of being careful and knowing when and when not to overtake), could you potentially be “scouted” to join F4 or other racing? Basically what I’m saying is, if your lucky enough to be doing karting for fun on a day there’s a scout from an academy or someone from a company looking to sponsor someone, coming to checkout an actual event, is there a possibility they could potentially approach you?

Hi mate. It is not likely to happen I’m afraid. They may look at drivers who are doing British kart club racing (which doesn’t cost too much), but even then, they will offer you a drive but you will have to pay. F4 is currently about £350k per season. Some spend £750k if they do lot of testing and the UAE series over winter to warm up for the main championship.

I mean, the first time i raced was when i was about 7 and the minimal age for things like f4 or f3 in my country is 15, would you say i could still start with 17?

@EnzoMucci

Yes mate. If you are tearing it up and winning everything at 17 then you will be completely fine. Ollie Gray is 17.

Well I’m 16, 4 months from 17 and the dream of an Indy car is still strong but I don’t have the resources so this was kind of eye opening. I’ll keep trying but I think with my age, lack of knowing how to get started a think it’s over. Damn this kinda sucks.

16 is still a good age for Indy car, the bigger problem is cash. You could start much later but you need the $millions to get you there

Hello Enzo, thanks for such an accurate video. I think nobody could ask more. You got my sub on the first 2 minutes! My question is; I am currently 18 years old, I study IT which is completely irrelevant to Motorsport but I do get a light income. My true passion is to become a racing driver, not particularly in F1. My goal is to make it to the ADAC Formula 4. Do you think even if I am 18 years old ( or slightly older ) I could still be given a chance? I appreciate every answer.

Enzo Mucci Enzo I have one more question. I don’t have any experience at karting so it’s significantly harder for me to become a race driver. How should I approach a small F4 team and contact them about driving for them or even (as you said in the tips) work for them in another position first?

I’m a 11 is it to Kate to start I’ve got the money and I’m determined I will stay on track for hours

DUUUUUUUUUUUDE YOU'RE 11 WHY ARE YOU ASKING THIS QUESTION 😂. You're still kind of a kid so if you got the money that's a big plus now all you need is to spend 4 years at karting getting good and fast and at 15 if you still have the cash you can move to F4!

Hello, I’m 14 years old and I started go karting two months ago and one six out of eight races. And I had no experience before that and now I feel like I have a good feel for it. My plan is to get into formula 4 at the age of 18 or 19. Do you think that I would be too old to join formula for at that age? And also how much would it cost if a joint formula 4?

@EnzoMucci

2 жыл бұрын

Not too old for F4 at 18 but on the late side. A lot of future F1 drivers will be in F3 by then. But still, if you are winning in F4 at that age then you can still do something. British F4 costs around £220,000 and European costs about £300,000. Depends on team and how much testing.

Well it means that you can prep your own car so that saves money, or set up your own race team, plus you could get a job as a Motorsport mechanic so at least you are in the industry. Then on top of that, the suppliers that you work with may be interested in sponsoring you a little in the future

Believe it or not, yes. They might not spot you just by racing unless you are part of a competition that is designed for that purpose, so make sure you live stream your races on Twitch and make a lot of noise.
