As far as from India point of view, it is going to launch in 2011(hopefully) and i want to enter I think skills are important for any sports not money. I am passionate to become a professional driver for F1, and i think i can do it, if get proper training and guidelines. i m seeking for proper guidelines and i want to take green pass of F1 to run on track.|||Skills are more important... but they are just part of an equation that includes natural talent and funds. If someone happens to be born with great natural talent (for racing, that would be mainly balance and perception), they have a great advantage over other potential drivers. However, if they do not drive and develop the skills to use that talent, they will never have a chance to race professionally.
If that same driver with great natural talents starts driving competitively from an early age (between 6 and 8 years old), significantly developing their skills to a great level such that by the time they are 16-18, they could be one of the top young drivers in the world, but they lack funding to drive at a high enough level to ever be seen, they will not have the chance to attract the needed attention that could lead to one of the very few driver seats in F1.
And conversely, someone with little or no natural talent and no skills could have all the money in the world, but they would have no chance of securing a drive.
Excelling at motorsports requires some natural talents, and lots of seat time and experience to develop racing skills. However, even with that in hand, the reality is that motorsports are expensive. "Cheap" low level amatuer budgets could run as low as $10k/year... but to run at the front of those same series would require two to three times as much. A small step up and budgets jump to $40-50k/year, with front runners again spending much more. Getting up to low level amatuer series and suddenly it's $100-200k/year... and winning at that level will require two to three times that. And so forth up.
If you look at the path to driving at the highest levels of motorsport, there are two enemies you will need to overcome. First, is time - it takes years to develop the needed skills! Second is money. The more you have of the later, the better use you can make of the first... but given lots of time (ie, starting when you are 6 years old) means you can start cheaper and spread the cost out over a longer time.
If you are not currently racing at a very high level, and doing so with success (ie, you have a GP2 win to your credit, or at least a podium or two), there is no chance you will be racing in F1 in 2011. Given a great amount of natural talent and unlimited funding, it might be possible to run through the needed driving experience in 2-3 years, but would still be a great long shot. Without unlimited funding, you will need 2-3 years to get enough experience to then take another 2-3 years to develop sponsors and contacts such that you can then use the next 3-4 years climbing up to higher levels and then have a 2-3 year chance of running at the top (assuming you have GREAT natural talent and a little luck). This means 10+ years (so if you are 16 or younger now, then it could still be an outside chance for 2021, where in the path would be to start karting now and gather whatever funding you do have to get a race car and a competition license).|||u need to have TALENT as well as A LOT OF MONEY....|||.
I want to become the Queen of England and I am prepared to get a boat back in order to do so....is it possible to reign with a nonchalent outlook rather than the more commonplace heraldic aloofness?
.|||Lewis Hamilton had nothing but loads of talent. He did speak to Ron Dennis when he was about 10 and said he would drive for him one day. Look where he is now.|||You can't just enter Formula 1. It used to be about talent, now it's about money.
You need to race for at least 10 years in GP2/Formula 3/Formula Renault here in Europe to have a chance at racing in Formula 1. Then if you're good enough you might be in with a shot.
But you're going to need a few million pounds to even come near to racing in F1.|||Dev,
Why dont you go test your skills on an F1 simulator and then go to the track and try an F1 car for a day and get a feel for it, there are plenty of firms that lease out F1 cars for race weekends in the U.K and Europe, its expensive but if you are passionate about it, worth a try.|||get a rich dad, and where are you from??? if you are from a small country they don't give a damn unless you are bill gates
you need money first, lewis's dad worked 3 or 4 jobs one time to support him until he got to the racing program from his team now, but he's rare, first of all he is black, imagine you are a boss and you might have the first black drivier, and of course he is talant( he is not good like Alonso kimi and he won the champion by rude driving)
so here comes back to you
do you know you need lots of money to drive go kart for one year, the real go kart, that money you can buy a nice car, so you spend lots of money to be famous and someone might try to train you but you still need to pay crazy, racing schools are expensive unless you can enter for free but that's only few, finally you turn 15 or 16 then you need to drive in high level racing in formula car, F3 usually, you still need to pay damn **** this time unless you have a rich dad or famous dad who can help you find money, so you get little better then you can go to GP2, and you still need to pay to drive, and if you are really lucky you get to test F1 cars for few times and that does not mean you can be a real driver, you need to have money still, some drivers still pay to drive in F1. and you do so well in GP2 and you can drive for small teams of F1, if you are 15 or 16 now you are too old, some people start late age they can only drive in F3 or GP2 level,
why not go to rally school and drive for WRC?? rally is cheaper and still fun|||You want to enter the 2011 Indian GP? Er...it isn't going to happen buddy!|||Drivers have to be able to bring money as well as talent to the table these days.
