Question
what qualification do i need to be a racing car driver

Answer
I would say that it depends on what type of racing you are talking about. Good physical condition, non smoker, drug-free, good concentration skills,lightweight,fast reflexes are some of the qualities of a good racer. Check with the sanctioning body for the type of racing you want to get into for specifics.
