since i was a little kid, racing have been a thing i've loved, but because of money, i never had the chance, im 19 years old now, doing sim racing, and i love it. I drove my first ever rental go kart race against a pro and my uncle (my uncle have won many races and is very talented) and a lot of other people, and i won. Really wish racing was a lot more easy to get in to, so more of us young talents could get the shot too! But awesome stories from these awesome drivers! Still masive respect from me!

Being a rancing driver for me is one of the career choices that I'm open to, but there's one big problem: I ain't rich, I can barely afford a half hour rental and even if I could, living in Lisbon, Portugal, makes it extremely hard, there is no karting nearby, the closest being 1 hour away and most with a least a toll booth in between, so I'm sticking with Gran Turismo Sport and although I've improved a lot over the past months (when I started to watching formula e) I'll probably never even be able to compete in real karts because I just can't afford it.

i have an idea.


how about we have some public funding for go karting and maybe we can make racing great again?

even though i probably will never be racing driver and because im not allowed due to anti epileptics but if was able the moment that would have made me a rally driver was my first rally Acropolis when i was 3 years old and my first memory of rally car taking a hairpin at Agioi Theodoroi SS since then ive been to 17 rally Acropolis and 1 historic rally Acropolis
