>>>>>Dead right . Only need to look at the long list of lottery winners who are now world champions in their chosen 'sport'

That's not what I said. Or at least not what I tried to say.

The biggest qualification for any driver is that they have the money to fund the next step. Despite my lad's pretty average (but fun) karting CV if I won the Ł155 million tomorrow night the F4 teams would welcome him with open arms, probably more so than if he'd won S1 but I'd picked the wrong six numbers again.

Practice, practice, practice can make a reasonable performance from someone with mediocre talent. All that plus a spark turns people into champions, funded along the way by the wallets of those who think their offspring "might just make it".

As Kai says, it's not a career. Most drivers are funded not by their teams but by creaming off their sponsor cheques. So learn how to become a business man rather than worry about Super 1 at 10 years old, find the money and the good drives will find you!

Kai and I have the advantage of age...we have seen all this before. There is nothing fair about motor racing: you perform financially first and behind the wheel second, or you're dumped. Brutal but that's life, you cannot run cars or karts on shirt buttons. Whoever thinks there is or should be a "level playing field" is deluded.
