Dutchcruijff wrote:He's 12 years old... I'm sure he can write coherent English but kids like him talk "MSN" talk so go easy. Some kids can't even spell "engineer" at the age of 15...Thank you and that is my opinion aswell. This is not a school forum for one's spelling to be judged because if the point trying to be made is clear then so be it. Frankly imho worrying about someone's spelling on an internet racing forum is just downright anal and a feable attempt at superiority.

Shall I offer PROOF of inept spelling even from our self proclaimed member's of superior knowledge and education or can we get back to the topic of this thread?

I couldn't understand who the guy was on about so i suggested he rephrased his post so it was more understandable to us idiots who don't understand 'MSN speak'. I wasn't being malicious, although i was being blunt.

Formula Vee, I think, is the lowest category that actually has the word Formula in the name. I'm aiming to do what 7Up has already done and get in to that, albeit driving rather than engineering.

If you're looking to race, karting is your best option to get started with. It helps you to learn the basics, but not mandatory because I started competing in Motorsport this year doing 2 races in Formula Vee and I'm 23 with no karting experience at all.Slightly off-topic, but what were your results?
