Answer 1

highly unlikely

not bikes

maybe auto

go to school for it if you are serious

Answer 2

bikes

Answer 3

starting young is good. i race bikes myself.

a lot of finance involved unless u have a sponsor. sponsors dun come easy unless u can prove u r a talent.

1) bike

2) performance parts

3) gear

4) racing license

5) transportation for bike to venue - van/trailer

6) accomodation and food expenses for urself

7) mechanics unless u have friends helping u out.

8) tyres at least 2 sets, paddock stands

9) bike spares( u dun wanna loose a race weekend over a damaged brake lever)

10) race entry fees

cost can be reduced if u r doing it together with a friend/partner. cost could be split.

Answer 4

Firstly make you mind up.

Bike or Car.

After you have done that, then learn that you are 10 / 15  years too late to start becoming a pro bike racer, ( i.e MotoGP / WSB etc )

The learn that racing cars dont have automatic gearboxs.

Sorry mate for the lack of encouragement, but its better to tell you this news like an adult.
