Getting Started In Karting
My name is Josh Semple. I am 15 years old, from Cape Town, South Africa. I am wanting to start karting in Cape Town, and I don't know what to do or where to start. Would I need to join a team, and if so, how? Or would I have to start on my own. If the latter, I would need sponsors, as my family is not able to support all the costs. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Shot.

Find the local karting track. Go there. Talk to people.
Racing, even karts, is one of the more expensive hobbies one can pursue.
There is essentially no sponsorship to be had when entering karting. Once established as a front runner, there may be some sponsors you could pursue.
Sponsorship is about advertising. You have to show a potential sponsor that through your racing you can sufficiently increase the sponsor's sales to more than justify the $$$'s the sponsor gives to you.The secret to winning races: More Throttle, Less Brake.

Karting is a great way to get into motorsport but as nem14 says head down to Killarney and get involved its a goo start
