Honestly at the brink of killing myself knowing I'm never going to be able to achieve my dreams at this point. I'm not even asking to be handed this stuff, but it seems to be that if you aren't in racing before the age of 18-20, you're basically never gonna get into it. I don't want to do anything else with my life.

Anyone else have these horrible feelings or is it just myself?

Wow, shocking, someone using Veeky Forums not achieving they're dream and blow Posting about it.
Frankly if you want to get in to rally, go buy a Honda fit, make it comply.to local rally standards win a few races and be an entrepreneur go to local businesses and ask for them to sponsor you start a YouTube channel and record your races, try hard study harder, see if there are local teams you can get in contact with, no one in this hobby gets very far without reaching out and knowing people but I'm sure you're probably to autistic to do any of that and should probably stick to dirt rally

Go back 9 years and start racing
Alternatively make millions of dollars and then start racing as a hobby

tip #1 for life: don't compare yourself to pretty girls. never in your fucking life will you ever be given the free opportunities that a vagina gets for no other reason than simply having one.

now go fuck off failed normie

It's possible to becoming a pro racer at an old age. Just look at Scott Tucker.

Of course, you have to be rich first. So just start a payday loan scheme or something.

But seriously, if you really wanted to accomplish that dream bad enough, you would chase it. Start your own business, make some fucking money, buy yourself a seat. Probably 50% of professional race drivers are really rich or have rich connects that can sponsor them

In the end, you probably don't want to be a driver anyways. It's a lot of stress and work.

It sucks, I know. I'm 23 and I'd love to take a shot at racing eventually, but even the nearest track I could practice at (other than dragstrips) is a few hundred miles away. I'd have to move far away if I ever wanted to try making a career out of it.

Honestly no you don't. You dream about it, sure, but you're not actually all that passionate about it. The people who become professional, full-time drivers are obsessed with it. I mean fucking obsessed, not just "gee my job is fun!"

:^(

I mean I'm not trying to compare myself, but it's still shitty to see that she is two years older than me, but still 100x farther ahead. I'd be less inclined to care if she were rich, but it doesn't look like her background is that.

Trying to start my own business, but the main hurdle is what I would even start.

What stress would there be besides, well, the actual racing part.

I'm sorry senpai.

I mean there's nothing I could think of that I would want to do more than racing, but I suppose that's a fair point.

just play racing sims and keep dreaming like the rest of us

one day when i'm like 55 i will be one of those rich fuckers who shit up the back of the blancpain GT field

If you were really serious about it you'd be saving every penny you can and getting involved with something like your regional SCCA events.

>be you (OP)
>get a helmet
>get some decent shoes
>look up autocross events
>pay entry fee
>get your shitbox inspected
>walk the course
>autocross your shitbox

Congrats, you just did motorsports

Wahh life isnt fair, grow a pair of nuts and have some dignity faggot. If it was something you really wanted to do, you would spend every waking minute working towards it instead of wasting your life on Veeky Forums

You might not get paid to do it but you can still compete.

This.

If you're aiming to race professionally from the off, you're aiming way too high.

>there's nothing I could think of that I would want to do more than racing
Most people have something they want to do more than anything, but that doesn't mean they have the determination or skill to do it.
Pro racing isn't a job, it's your life. There's no time clock to punch, there's no 40 hour work week.
However as others have said there's still plenty of amateur racing opportunities out there to scratch your itch if you're that serious about it.
Autocross, rallycross, amateur rally, karting, sprints, etc.
It'll eat all of your free time and money, but if you really love it you won't care.

Do you have a car?
If so, start driving fast. Go down windy roads, practice skills and when you think you're good, enter races. Maybe they'll be on the street, maybe on the track but you have to just "start doing it" and work your way up. Eventually you might be able to get a sponsorship or something if you're good but I would recommend looking closely and determining if you REALLY want to do that. It requires alot of time and effort just for something that is unfortunately rather unlikely, not because of who you are but because it is simply a difficult thing to do. Best of luck user, drive fast.

>Not racing in 24hour Lemon races

Get rich and get on your knees.

>Go down windy roads, practice skills and when you think you're good, enter races.

Fuck off faggot.

Present a counter argument whenever you want.

>Honestly no you don't. You dream about it, sure, but you're not actually all that passionate about it. The people who become professional, full-time drivers are obsessed with it. I mean fucking obsessed, not just "gee my job is fun!"
I have thought about this a lot. What are you supposed to do with your life if you don't have this type of burning passion for anything? Just be unsatisfied with a bland existence until you die? I feel like I really want to have something I care about like that but have never even come close to what you describe once in my entire life.

It's only going to feel worse as you get older.

racing is stressful, if you don't produce results and don't show promise you can easily get sacked

>What are you supposed to do with your life if you don't have this type of burning passion for anything?

The normie way is to start a family, and that family becomes their "burning passion".

Honestly mate you probably won't be good enough anyway

Not very many people make it to actually becoming a professional race driver

>what do I start

you dont have to reinvent the wheel buddy. even simple stuff like laundrymats and liquor stores make a good consistant revenue
