I‘m 19 and even though I have watched multiple racing sports for years, I only recently started thinking about racing myself. Obviously I‘m aware that I won‘t make it into F1 or any of the elite disciplines but I do want to start racing something. Is it possible for me, even at 19 years old? And what are my options for entry, is karting the only option? I‘m interested in all types of racing, but I don‘t think endurance is for me. & I’m based in Germany if that helps.

I am 14 and living in the UK, I am a bit lost right now on what my ambitions are regarding racing. I do rental karting but don’t have the funding for british formula 4, and my chances of f1 are gone anyway. Are there any alternative routes I could take, I understand this is a naive question but i’m really lost at the moment. Any advice will be appreciated.

I’ve been searching forums and can’t find any good answers/articles so here I am. When on track, how much does oil temp affect water temp? Is you’re running around 220F water, 270F oil on track, would installing on oil cooler (in a perfect world) that drops oil temp consistently 20 degrees also drop water temp consistently by at least a few degrees? Or is there no real correlation between the two? I’m asking for general info but my track car is a turbo NB Miata.

Saw posts by my teacher who drag raced there during final day of the track.

Which has a higher barrier of entry - offroad or drag?

A buddy and I were talking about both options and we'd like some reddit help to settle the debate.

If you have the mechanical acumen to do all the work yourself, and the price of the base vehicle is the same - which is more expensive to start in, And then continue in? Drag racing or offroad rock crawling/trail driving?

Hi, are there any racing series that allow for cars to be powered by a different engine that they originally had, either another engine built by the same manufacturer or one made by a different manufacturer?

Make the fastest cars, with no safety rules, on real track, controlled remotely by drivers on a sim setup. I'd watch that over computers racing computers any day

Watching James Baldwins onboard from Saudi Arabia, and I’ve noticed on his car plus a few other random GT onboards I’ve seen from other races they randomly have these dots on the windshield. Is it just bad placement of tear offs? Is it somehow sensors of some kind? This has always subtly bothered me and I need answers 😂 thanks anyone!

Hello,

I do tires for a couple of teams and am looking for work gloves that will hold up over a full season of use. I need something that can hold up to the heat of wheels and tires coming straight off track, with enough dexterity to clean marbles, dirt, and brake dust out of the hard to reach parts.

Additionally, I would like something that can manage heat well enough for the task and still keep my hands (mostly) cool, since I’ll be at some very sweaty tracks throughout the course of the season.

Any recommendations? Thanks.

My dad is a big fan of racing, I know he enjoys F1, all forms of NASCAR, drag racing, rallying, etc.

We live less than an hour from Watkins Glen Speedway and I was looking into holding a spot for tickets for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (Sahlen’s 6 hours of the Glen) and then purchasing when they become fully available. As a fan of many forms of racing do y’all think he’d enjoy that??

Besides having 5 24 hour races on my watchlist for next year ( 'Ring, Le Mans, Dubai, Daytona, Spa ) along with a few other less short endurance races such as Sebring or the Glen, I mostly just ball out these big events and only sleep when the races are finished. I know there's definitely a lot of people who do the same thing, and with all of them happening on the span of weeks or months it's easy to be consistant and I'll try to find more 24 hour races if there are anymore and because of this people say it's not good in the long run and I want to know what's it like for everyone else who watches more than 1 24 hour race for the full 24 hours.
