Getting Into Racing
Overview
Most people think getting into racing starts with buying a race car.
They're wrong.
Before the green flag drops, there are decisions to make, costs to understand, mistakes to avoid and realities few people talk about.
In Getting Into Racing, veteran racer and coach Pierre Martins draws on more than four decades of motorsport experience to explain what newcomers really need to know before entering the sport. Whether you're considering your first track day, planning to buy a race car, exploring sponsorship opportunities or simply trying to understand how amateur motorsport works, this book provides a practical roadmap to help you make informed decisions.
Covering topics such as budgeting, category selection, race licences, safety equipment, race car ownership, sponsorship, paddock culture, coaching and relationship management, Getting Into Racing offers an honest and refreshingly candid look at the realities of circuit racing. Written with humour, insight and hard-earned experience, it tackles the questions aspiring racers actually ask and the challenges they are most likely to encounter.
Featuring 25 chapters, more than 400 pages of practical guidance and a foreword by renowned motorsport personality Ernest Page, this book is essential reading for anyone considering life behind the wheel.
Because getting into racing is not an event.
It's the start of a process.
