Hi everyone,

I always wanted to do open-wheel amateur racing, but don't know anything about the world of amateur motorsport. I am looking for some guidance and will do in in depth research on them. At the moment, I have no idea where to look what to read so I have a couple of questions that I want to ask, any answer and comment is appreciated.

  1. Do I have to get some kind of a certificate to be able to compete in amateur races or tournaments?
  2. Which European country is the best for amateur openwheel racing in terms of availability of races and affordability? Or is the US better?
  3. What classes are there for open-wheel amateur racing, like Formula Vee?
  4. Lastly, but most importantly, can you guys recommend any websites/forums for me to check out for further inquiry?

I would also love to hear your experiences if you have, open/closed-wheel, doesn't matter.

Thanks for all the help in advance .
