To be blunt, the long and short of it is, he won't get 'noticed'. If motorsport progression ran soley on talent, the Formula One grid would look very different than it does.....

There is several options for racing karts at various venues against good competition on a modest budget. Club100, DMax, BRKC, EKL all offer very competitive racing at the sharp end. Try a bit of all of them and you are sure to find out where you/he 'stand' in the mix.

The best you can hope for is that he garner's respect as being a fast and dependable guy among peers so that other opportunities open themselves up to try other karts/cars. Then you get to meet some handy people who can learn from and gain experience.

Unless he is 10yrs old with bottomless pockets, don't waste time thinking of it as a career path. Just focus on it for what it is (weekend fun), do as much as you can afford and see where it takes you.
