Answer 1

You can start off with karts because they're more affordable and tough little racing machines, you'll learn the basics of race car driving there and acquire experience in racing situations.

You can also start with one of the cheaper car categories as long as you can afford it till you get a sponsor.

To find sponsorship you must perform well so it would be a good idea not to jump into the deep end from the word go, your performances may not flatter you at first.

For the same reason you should make sure that whatever you do you do it right, don't do something you can't afford or you'll not be competitive, it has to be done right.

So it's quite simple, check out all the racing series you can participate in and get information on what sort of budget is required to do them properly, see what sort of budget you can put together and make your choice based on that.

Answer 2

go karts or start out in a lower catergory with cheap cars, in Australia we have low catergories like Aussie racing cars and they like 40k and then you just get sponsers and stuff, thats just an example though
