It wasn't meant to be constructive input!

If you were destined to be great and earn a living from motor sport, you would be doing so by now. There is no shortcut to fame, fortune and riches in any sport - you have to work hard, from an early age, and practice, practice, practice and spend a great deal of money. I could easily take your £60k in two years of minor kart racing.

The people on here who are earning money from being paid drivers in historic racing have spent way more than £60k over the years and are now in the mid-40s to mid-60s age range. You have to earn the respect of people who entrust you with cars worth the GDP of a small nation.

Back to my original advice. Go racing, enjoy yourself. For most of us motor racing is a sport, not a business. If along the way you manage to find a niche that pays you then brilliant. But you cannot buy your way to success without an enormous pile of money. The guys your age who are earning money in the sport now have 15-20 years of experience behind them, at that rate don't expect on seeing a return on your "investment" before you're too old to be quick!
