[@keytel1]

I'm 14 and I usually go to this go kart place called "k1 speed" and I race on the adult side, not the junior side 😂😂😂😂. but other racers that always go to the place tell me that I'm a good driver for a youngling, I've always wanted to be a F1 driver, but that thing is that my family doesn't really have deep pockets, but right now I am currently saving up money for a kart and then move up the ladder. I really hope I reach my goal

[@Clutch2414]

Salinas_Bani k1 speed in Orlando? Been there before, cool place to go to

[@ColtraneKamikura]

Salinas_Bani same. I am in absolutely the same place rn lmao. Hope the money comes quickly to both of us :)

[@curtisparidisshow]

Salinas_Bani go karting and f1 driving are way different, you probably shit yourself if you drove an f1

[@ColtraneKamikura]

Samuel Greenhough but it's one way to try to get up to that level

[@keytel1]

Samuel Greenhough well believe it or not that's how most of the f1 racers got to where they are now, karting.

[@JosueGarciarace]

Money kills talent. I wish it was like the early days of racing where if youre good you can race no money bs if so very little

[@Hydro-od2rt]

Sad truth. I'm kid and this has been my only dream after going to the Grand Prix it's just my family doesn't have money and I'm trying to get a job but that won't get me far.

[@JosueGarciarace]

+Brandon Mameli same here man, im 17 and my mom lost her job due to injury and my stepdad is barley getting enough and i work at mcdonalds. i go kartong whenever possible. i wish i would just get once chance to prove how good i am. goodluck to you mate and if your are good hopefully you can make it also

[@Hydro-od2rt]

+Josue Garcia yeh I'm trying man 15 and out of school just so hard to get noticed

[@JosueGarciarace]

Almost impossible haha. As long as theres a chance no matter how big or how small i will go for it.

[@vPanzerTank]

+Josue Garcia +Brandon Mameli Keep going for your dreams, do not let money deter you. Many racers faced this issue but they pulled through. I actually one day want to drive monster trucks for Monster Jam. I'm 18 years old and this might be a childish dream but it ain't to me. Everyone who thinks otherwise can screw themselves. WIth time and dedication, it'll pay off, you will have to sacrifice a lot for happiness. "Never give up, die first, then give up."

U got it then?!!😆

[@Dgannt]

This shows the huge difference between an auto journalist and a real race driver. And also why a car review can differ so much when the auto journalist is just that or a former or still active race driver. I remember when both the Fifth Gear test drivers did not approve of Mclaren 12C as a drivers car and hailed 458 Italia as the best drivers car they had driven. Tiff could not have fun in it and Plato spun it as he was trying to set a fast lap. A race driver can test a cars limits and abilities at much higher levels than others can do.

[@Fugedibobo]

fujipt Also unlike Fifth Gear presenters, Top Gear presenters are actually funny :D

[@mamingakuri2436]

Fast Er Its way easier in NZ stock car racing

[@YellowCamaro85]

just throwing this out there but plato has a few titles and quite a few wins under his professional career and tiff was quite the racer aswell. unlike American journalism they know what they are doingU

[@MillennialMidwest]

It's really cool to see ordinary guys achieving something that they never really thought was possible.

anyone else been doing a hundred laps in Ayrton Senna's F3 car this morning? Such a coincidence that you guys released this video on the same day as the gran turismo fans have been mastering the indy circuit in Senna's car

[@peterthompson9854]

You were through the same journey I, and probably everyone does. Think, hey, I drive pretty well and quick on the road, I can be good at this. On Ards course found that I couldn't brake, steer or change gear. Half way through the course was told I drove well in a straight line. LOL! I too felt so disappoint in myself.

[@christianaugustin7047]

I really love this channel. I really do. They are the only ones to pick a subject and elaborate on what really matters about it. It was very endearing to see the guys go through yhe struggle and the doubt, and to see them pass made me smile. Great Video guys hope to see more.

Literally what I’ve wanted to do for a living my whole life. I’ve had the pleasure driving two major speedways. Both a nascar and Indy 500 car(hit 157 mph in that one on the raceway,the cars can hit 200 mph though). Been on both on Mario Andretti and Richard Pettit speedways.

[@lennoxblair2622]

There're so many comments over here and seemingly there's too much talent around the world.. so many car enthusiasts and everything... i personally im from kenya, 19 years old, a real car enthusiast and I've always wanted to be in any kind of race track .... how i wish these kind of academies and all kind off car gurus were spread all over the world so that some of us may also get exposed to it... we may have passion but without action is just useless.. all these people have the capability but now the funds, exposure and stuff may hinder very good drivers out here.... spread your wings gentlemen

[@zhemin]

Play Gran turismo ;'D

[@MrMikeDao]

It's a good fun simulator but it only represents book knowledge and will only apply 30% to real life track days/events. Try iRacing for a more realistic simulator.

[@derbigpr500]

Yea, play Gran Turismo, and get a completely wrong idea of the car physics and behaviour. GT is an arcade game, in no way a realistic representation of real racing. Just becuase there are a few people who took part in GT Academy turned up being good is not because of GT, but because of their talent. GT is the last game that should be seriously connected to real racing.

[@AhmadAlAjeel]

derbigpr500 actually GT and iRacing are racing simulators, and do represent realistic driving physics (not as real as the real thing but still close to accurate) especially iracing, and depending on your rig and setup. don't confuse racing sims with arcade games like need for speed or forza. You can learn alot about racing from simulators, there are even full simulator rigs with hydraulic pumps and things so you even feel the gforces when cornering and braking so its almost 100% accurate. Many professional racing drivers still use racing sims and karting to perfect their skills.

Nobody knows corners like I do & how to enter them & thus exit them. I know, I know I sound as if I am full of myself. I just have confidence mates. I am spot on. Ride the lines. Nobody has a racing style like my own. I am an aggressive driver, yet I am precise & I am a defensive driver. I know the exact moment in time to take over any obstacle & thus driver. I feel the road in my hips and thus up through my backbone into my arms. I know how to manipulate any road condition to benefit my skills. I am like the equivalent of a super computer. Nano technology built into a human body. Pretty bloody surreal, even to me at times mate. 😜

[@MrIdenas]

Its all nice and wonderful and it may seem that becoming a race driver is an easy thing to do, you just go to a race track and pass your license. However will that really help you to start a professional carrier and earn money from it for a living ? I think the prospects are low unless you are something extremely extraordinary and somebody will notice you. Moreover, I wonder how much such exams cost ? I bet it cost a pretty hefty sum of money, not to mention you would need more money to start racing if nobody supported you. So in the end, it seems that becoming a race driver is not so easy speaking from a financial point of view. If you want to do this as a profession (like me) and at the same time have any prospects of becoming a successful race driver you had to have rich parents who would support your racing activities from a childhood to build strong racing skills. I would love to become a racing driver. Driving is my passion and I would love to earn money for a living while doing it. But I am already 24 years old which I think is way too old to start a professional racing carrier. So even if I went and passed this test and got a license I could only hope at best to do this as a hobby and not earn but spend money on it which kinda sucks having in mind nowadays economic situation.
