I've never karted but I am familiar with spanking cars round country roads and left foot braking. :hehe:


Lol, yeah it's not too disimilar likely!! :hehe:

Hammer - yeah I used to do a bit of karting when I was younger from 11-16. A long time ago now!! :hehe: I actually hadn't even set foot (or wheel I suppose) in anger on a karting track in about 3 years until a fortnight ago, when me and one of my friends decided to go along to our relatively local kart track and give a couple of races a go on a busy Saturday. I was pretty happy as in spite of obvious (the way I felt it) rust, I managed to set the 7th fastest time for the day at the circuit, which I was pretty pleased about.

I'm the one on the right as you look at the picture, and yes, the overalls were too big for me, they'd run out of medium ones it was that busy, so I had to make do with large!! :)

Number 1: Can i still become a F1 driver, or is it too late?

Number 2: What should i think of when i drive?

Number 5: About how much money will it cost now in the beginning to start practising?



Be aware its 99% likely that you wont make it in to F1, im not trying to ruin your dream or anything just enless you are an absalute amazing talent you have to be aware of the costs it will take to get into it, Ive just read Ben Collins book (Ex Stig of UK's Top Gear) and he was in single seat racing at le mans, beating experienced teammates and showing great talent, and he was told he needed £1.5 million to get a TEST seat at Arrows F1, so it never happened.

By all means follow your dream but be aware it will probably only lead to lower series racing (Still a f***ing mint job just lot less money)

:clap: for having a dream tho, more than i had at 14 :)

My dream when I was 14 was Diana Fernandez. I was a lowly freshman and she was senior. :cloud9:

Awesome. I hadn't either for years until just a few weeks ago got together with a few mates and went to a popular track nearby and had some good fun. I've done indoor karting only once though, but it was a bad once since I had my gas pedal stuck (literally!) which threw me into the barrier and that was that. Never did indoor after that experience...mostly because the opportunity never came by.
