Would i be able to get into racing go-karts, please answer?

My Dad believes i wont be able to get into go-kart racing because its hard to get sponsors. Agree/Disagree?





How much does it cost each race, tires, fuel etc





What is the average go kart and equipment cost ( i am 15 yrs old live in Geelong), excluding tools because my dad is a mechanic and has most tools.|||Well it depends if you want to race as a hobby or do it professionally. You can buy used equipment and get started for 1000-2000. To be anywhere near competitive you will be looking at new karts that costs 3000+. Don't forget about maintenance. To be honest with you most sponsors pick kids that are 15 and under with at least 6+ years of experience. Sponsors want them young so they can mold them into better drivers. Not only do they look for young individuals, but also talented or skilled kids with many years under their belt. You can still go karting now and build up your skills. Maybe a scout will find you if you really have something.
