How to Become a Racing Driver — 3 Steps
How to Become a Racing Driver — Step 1
The first step to becoming a racing driver is gaining experience behind the wheel on a circuit. Start with a race course for beginners or take hot laps as a passenger. This gives you a first impression of what circuit driving involves.
How to Become a Racing Driver — Step 2
The next step is taking part in trackdays to learn the basic racing techniques. This is best done under the guidance of an instructor. For this you naturally need a car that is reasonably circuit-worthy. If that is not the case, you can always rent one from companies like TrackTime. Another option is buying a racing simulator game and racing wheel — you would be surprised how much you can learn from it.
How to Become a Racing Driver — Step 3
Once you have gained enough experience on trackdays, the next step is taking part in races. Start with an affordable race class. In Belgium there are the BRAVO races, in the Netherlands the DNRT, ACNN and STWC. These are accessible classes for beginners.
What Does It Cost?
By now the question "how do I become a racing driver" has been answered and you are probably thinking: this all sounds great, but what does such a race weekend actually cost?
For the cheaper classes you can expect race weekend prices to start from €2,500 all-in, while a weekend in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge will cost around €25,000.
