I am obsessed with rally racing (Dakar, WRC, etc) How do I become a driver?

May be...

I am 16 years old and I LOVE racing. No not Nascar, real racing (Le Mans, F1, Rally, and the like) I really want to become a professional driver, how do I?

drift its better.

You don't have to go to rally school. You just need to build a car and start racing.

Start here:
www.specialstage.com
There you will find people and local events around rally. There are often people looking for crew and what not. Tag along and see what it takes. Best way to do it.
In a year or to go here:

and purchase a car and start racing.

Save some money. It's stupid expensive.

well you might want to check out schools for rally driving like this http://www.racingschools.com/rs/Rally-Ca... but you should get a college degree first

Rally is really cool, but a little dangerous. Have you tried doing any drag or auto cross? Having a background in knowing how to control a car in those situations would really help. Try getting in touch with a rally team, there is a guy on Mazdas247.com/forums that does road rally. If you are on any car forums you might try asking around on there, or looking for a rally based forum. You would have to wait until your 18 unless your parents are okay with you racing and willing to sign on all the paper work. Good luck!

Same, I love motorsport so much but unfortunately the only real way of getting into it is to invest quite a lot of money into the sport.

Getting an old stock car and modifying it... or checking out the specifications of the cars and entering yourself onto the rally.

It does cost a lot of money, and takes time. (at least ВЈ15k per year)

there are rally schools out there... but.. it'll take years to get into the sport

also you will never get into formula one... that would be as likely as going to the moon.

If only the world didnt revolve around money...

F1 & WRC... im obsessed with them

no matter what kind of racing you aspire to compete in, karting will be your starting point. most professional drivers have roots in karting at a young age. at 16 you're already behind if you're looking for a driving career...goldmemeber
