How to become a racing driver 

How to become a racing driver: -Rich parents; -Share the same passion as one of your parents; -Supportive parents; -Be in racing at age of 8; -have somewhere to train to become good; -have a agent; -if you get good at it you may be able to get "sponsorships" like NISMO; And BAM! At age of 14 you driving a GTR

i'm here at 22 (soon to be 23) and I'm still saving for my first car... meanwhile, 14 year olds are racing GTRs... lol

In 2015 I was #38 out of ~400,000 in GT Academy. I needed to be #32 or higher to make it to Silverstone. I hovered in the top 8 for hours so I thought I got in easy, took a quick nap, woke up at #40 and my heart dropped. I wanted it so bad.

doesnt explain how to become a racing driver.

So what exactly does this teach us except you need to have parents rich enough to put you through a few seasons of cart racing when you are young

I'm 19 going on to 20 within a week. My name's Eric Zeller and as I was growing up over the years I realized that I was attracted to all types of racing games and nothing but. The main racing game I play now is forza 6 on Xbox one. The first racing game I ever played was flat out 2 on the ps2. At the age I am now, I think about what I want to do with my life and nothing has ever made me feel more alive then getting behind the wheel. Whether it be a game, a video I'm watching, or my own 2016 Chevrolet Trax; the feeling that comes over me is like electricity flowing through my blood. (and if you look up my car, you'll know it's not meant for speed nor is it expensive: hence not rich) Now, we all know you can only go so fast for so long before red and blue lights are behind you. I have a dream to become a racer, I have a dream to cross the finish line having my last name Zeller chanted through every speaker on the track, I have a passion that burns within me to do something amazing on the track. With that being said, I think I have what it takes to be a race car driver; but sadly it's a wishful thinking type of dream because I don't have the money to become a race car driver. Even with that obstacle in my way, I still have this dream and passion that I will strive for and will never give up on making progress in myself. Ik this is just a RU-vid post but maybe the right person will see this and believe in me; and they might just take that risk that puts me In my dream and them in a place of happiness, but more than that, a place in history. My name's Eric Zeller, and I'm just a young adult who lives in Texas who has a dream that one day will come true, whether for me on the track, or on the crew team for a family member or friend. I will one day be on the tracks fulfilling my dream one way or another. Thank you for taking the time to read this if you have and God bless.

that's easy buy a bmw and you're already a professional racing driver.

how rich do my parents need to be?

How to become a racing driver (given that you have both passion and talent) : Lots of money

wish I had the opportunity. driving has always been a passion of mine. When I'm in the zone when driving, I feel so connected to the road.

Probably not as good as a driver as him but let me lie just to get behind the wheel on a Nissan GT-R on an open parking lot 😂

All I know, is that I will do whatever it takes to do this for a living. I have never been happier behind the wheel.

for the guys who wanna become racing driver: it's useless to watch, just some Nissan promotion

"I am pretty much a racing driver."

You just opened my eyes on being a racing driver, however it just made me more eager on being one. Me 17 dreaming to be a GT4 driver, thanks mate love u!!

I therotically have a semi gut feeling I can personally make it to the racing industry. Yeah I'm 6'4 188-192lbs but I don't let that try to hold me back.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW !? Been a Gamer my whole life and a Street Racer basically since i was a preteen would love a opportunity like this!!! Just turning 31 I would love to experience driving a gtr and the fact that jann tagged along was pretty cool anyway cheers and the kid in the video is very promising with some more training great video really enjoyed it

I believe I have the skill.....just not the money or the right connections!

so the cheapest way of becoming a racing driver is being a getaway or ambulance driver lol

I am 13 and I want to become a racing driver but I live miles away from my nearest racetrack 😔

Sooo can i start this road from karting at the age 17?

You have to have wealthy parents to be able to do this year after year at young age.

i definately want to become a racing driver... whenever someone asked me what i wanted to be in the future i was saying racing driver since i was 10 years old and less. i hope one day i will make my dream true!!

I want to get into racing I’m 16 now I can drive/race really well, I just can’t afford anything

I'm now 12 and was a petrolhead from birth on. At the age of 6 I finally started sim racing when my dad bought me a thrustmaster wheel (I had my best time in project cars 1. It was great). I had the passion through out all years and with 10 I made me a sim setup for my room with a brand-new t150 wheel and project cars 2 (and an old monitor). I've already spent 2 days in the sim and it's great, especially the Nürburgring in gt3. I normally drive around 8:30 at Nürburgring combined (there where the 24h race is held (the real life drivers drive 8:10 during the race)) And my biggest dream is it to drive for the Land Audi team.

I’m 15 and I’m already starting to try. I started at 14 and here I am about to go to Japan and get an r32 gtr👍🏼 at least when covid is over.

I am 22 have a 9-5 regular job trying to pay off my love of a car. After that I will be saving up so I can try and become The best DRIVER OUT THEIR it's my love and passion as a sport and I will never turn my back on a racing I want it to be my LIFE!!!

Yes, I want to be a racing driver but now I'm an automotive designing student. Is it possible for me?

When a sports car seems slow as a snail on an F1 track, you realize how fast F1 cars really are.

Training like that would be a dream come true!

Where do I sign up?!

I always wanted to be a race car driver but never knew how until i was like 18. No one ever told me how. I practice a lot but I cant find the opportunity all because I 'wasnt in it since i was 10'

I started to drive at age 9 what do I have to do to join I like the challenge I'm currently 22

I am 27 and I intend to be a Formula One driver. Not becoming is not an option, even if the chances are just 1%. I am looking to get some real and a rather brutal advice to go ahead. I am about to finish my masters next spring and I have no prior racing experience whatsoever. I just need some direction.

Young, rich and lots of practice.

Can anyone help to know about a best academy teach stbike or car racing in Australia

Hey Fellas Is it possible to apply GT4 teams who offers available seats without GT race experience ?

I came here after watching gran turismo movie

That look fun asf

I have been in karting for quite some time now in Scotland and done quite well but I have never had the financial backing to go into European championships or anything like that so I will have to wait for a magic fairy to come and offer me a free drive in a team in Europe or Formula Ford maybe. :(

I would love to do something like this, too bad its all about money to do it..

Can anyone tell me please how to start your racing career. I would appreciate it very much.

ready to sign up.

Honestly the best way to be a racecar driver is just to race at a local short track.

I'm 13 and wanna be a race car driver

Yes , i can be a F1 superstar !

I am 13 and ever since i was 6 my dream was to become a racing driver . The speed and adrenaline is worth everything , but my country is shit and i cant afford any good preformance cars and/or dont have any tracks in my country . I really want to be a racer . Please help.

how do I get in

Where do i sign up.

I am 20 am I too old?

Wtf we need all this shit for damn I mines well become a body builder

So literally missed out the main part. You need MONEY if you want to become a race driver

Yea I’m sure

I want to be a pro racing driver! :)

7:50 Sure will you sponsor me Auto Express :)? I'm a broken 21 yo guy just in case you're wondering

Can I become a race car driver if I start practicing at 15

Like all the comments said you have to be rich to be put through classes like this. Literally a training block is like 2 semesters of college worth of tuition. Either you better start getting good and get recognized or you better be a top racing student. I wouldn't say it's difficult to get recognized but it's sure damn difficult to get recognized and or train to drive with hundreds of others who are doing the same thing as you. So if there's one thing you should learn from ever becoming a driver, you better win and treat every race like it's bread tonight or you starve to death literally lol.

Wrong at 14 I was racing in World Karting Association Jr Restricted class

So I’m 17, I guess it’s too late for me

I'm 14....and I'm just getting into profesional Karting.... A hole

I don't have the opportunities

is 16 year old too late to start racing?

Im 14

he looks like max verstappen

i whant to be a racer

I'm 14. who said I can't drive?

I don't think Kiern Jewiss will be an F1 Superstar if he join in Nissan GT Academy, besides that academy itself doesn't have F1 license, just like GT game it self :/

Really? No body notice/care about the intensiveness of his training?

I dont want to be the next anybody. I want to be the first me.

qvyat started at age 12 lol

I am probably better than him if I had the chance. jks but I might be

Without watching I guess rich parents who get them into cart racing early....

If I let you know how is that gonna help me ?? Lol

Real racing simulator.... It Rfactor. 😔

Seeing Jann behind the wheel of the GT-R was amazing. Proper driver for once.

I am 14 hhhhhh

F1? no. rally? i could drive rally. just no money.

There are so much better young drivers than him

Yes
