Question
Hi Adam
I am 27 years old and work as social worker in London. I wanted to know if it would be possible for me to ever become a professional driver. I find myself fairly good in my piers when it comes to karting competitions and I have few small trophies. I have entered a competition to see how I manage. I was wondering if you could advise me whether there are chances and if it could be a source of income. I would appreciate your advice if it was possible how I could best achieve it. Thanks

Answer
Dear Abdurrahman,
Thank you for your question. I have received similar questions (identical even) in the past and you will find the answers I have given on the website. If you have any follow-up questions, please dont hesitate to ask.
I only just received your question (All Experts is suffering at the moment from poor internal/IT management) so apologies for the delay in responding.

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
