Question
Hello,
I am 16, and am thinking of possible ways to get into racing. I was planning to go to school to become a mechanical engineer and trying to get into the Formula SAE program or Formula Student. However i would rather be driving. And racing is my life i go to the drag strip every weekend, and watch Le-mans and Formula races constantly. Any way am just trying to figure out a good way to get into racing at a young age.

Thank you for your time,
Blake

Expertise

I`m a big F1 fan and have been since the early 80s. I read weekly European specialist F1 press and keep on top of what`s happening in F1, such as results and testing, team politics, what drivers are saying etc. I`m especially a follower of the French Prost (formally Ligier) team and am also involved in karting and sports car racing in England.

Experience

Writing accounts of the performance of the (then)Ligier team during Grand Prix meetings. Organinsing karting competitions for 300+ drivers and of course being an Allexperts Formula One expert
