ok if u do not want to take up go karting, the alternative is to
start in cars. a good place to start is in autotests. an autotest
is like a sort of rally, where u need to drive a fixed course
around cones placed on the ground. autotests are good starting
grounds because there are many diff classifications of cars, which
include classes for stock, showroom spec cars. If u have a car
already, it should be ok to use it for autotests. do get the 2004
rule book from SMSA and read thru it, noting what is allowed for
stock classes and what is not.
the licence does not broaden your scope. having one does not make u
skillful suddenly overnight. in fact, the only reason that u get
one is because it is already determined that u are skillful enough
to own a racing licence, which is why it has been issued to
you.
so with a official FIA licence(issued thru SMSA), you will be able
to take part in events, either national or international, depending
on your licence class. eg. my licence class is International Senior
C. that allows me to race in the advanced class races
worldwide.
