I tried to get in but they all want experience. Getting that is the hard bit and I felt that that the only way in was to start very bottom.
After numerous knock-backs, I spent 15 months working for a kart manufacturer and their race team. After leaving, I started working on Racer Magazine but spent another three or so years turning spanners for junior kart racers.
One thing I learnt was that if you thought RC wasn't cheap, take a trip to a kart track when one of the junior national rounds is taking place...
