AboutAdam 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
I am 16 and at the moment am living in Romania. Next year in summer I am
going to move to England for university. I am really interested in motorsport
F1 mostly and I'd like to pursue a carrer in racing. The problem is that in
Romania there are no circuits for single seater cars, there are only circuits for
karting. Would it be too late to start a carrer in motorsports (I'm interested in
driving) at 17 or 18 years old?
Cheers,
Ionut

QUESTION: Hello, thanks for the answer.
Could you please give me the links as I am unable to find the advice. Also, should I do any karting before or could I just go to a school(open-wheel thats what I am interested in) and start straight with open-wheel?
Cheers,
Ionut
Answer Thanks, all my past answers are on the website, see previously asked questions in the category. Have another look and let me know if still a problem.
Karting first is my advice to learn the ropes. Going straight to SS is of course a possibility, but is a little unusual.
Best wishes,
Adam
