It's probably unlikely you will be allowed to drive a car on a racing track till you know how to drive and have a license.  You need to be very wealthy or just plain lucky to get into motor racing on a professional level and also you need to be an extremely good driver.  Lewis hamilton had a long history of kart racing and winning when he was a child and a man from mclaren met him when he was 14 and at a kart racing day and told hamilton to phone him when he was 18.
