New Second Channel: / afr_motorsport This is the start of a new era on my channel. In 2020 I will be taking part in a number of motorsport races and documenting the journey with detailed documentaries about my experiences. In the lead up to this, I am going to explain how to get involved with motorsport and the steps anyone would need to take to become an amateur racing driver. The first step is understanding the costs. In today's video and the first of the series, I will be speaking about how much you can expect your first season of motor racing to be. This includes the medical, race license (ARDS), buying a race car, entry and testing fees as well as car maintenance costs and elaborating on parts which you may not have considered.

i may be a bit late but i'd recommend starting with karts since it teaches you a lot about control and the chances are it will be cheaper

Well done on graduating and getting a related job Alex. Some good advice in the video. Timing is everything as Motorsports UK (the new name for the MSA) has just revamped the ARDs process which it may be worth updating your series with to keep it current. Yes, we met at Brands on your first race with Chris Bicknell. Good luck with the series.

@irobot5291
@irobot5291 2 года назад
No. You didn't miss a ship at all. What I would do if I were you, is go to school for mechanical engineering revolving around automobiles. Also get fabrication skills under your belt. Learn the business. Racing is a business mate. You will soend more time in a room with your team, discussing fabrication, formulating racing lines, fabrication, etc etc. You will only race a few times per year. If you become a racer at all. Best step is to do what I just suggested that you do.
