So you want to race? I'm guessing that you have friends that share in your hobby/passion? Why do you have to start at the top? Get some of your friends together and race. Film it and put it on all the social media. (All Social Media). You'll be surprised what that kind of exposure can do. It can be one of the fastest ways to get to a position you want to be in. That's my thinking though, my 2 cents. Take what resonates and leave the rest.
The funny thing is we do race and I'm the ring leader, so to speak. We do autocross and time attack (fastest single lap time on a race track). I've been to several events where I set faster times than known, established drivers and been asked where I learned to drive. When I tell them Gran Turismo, it blows their minds. Not saying that to brag or anything, but there's a lot of talent that simply has no money, which is all racing has become focused on.
Formula One is no longer the best drivers, it's who has the most money from daddy's company.

Then start your own racing. Stop putting all that talent into a box. Do your dream and money will catch up with you. Think outside the box
