How old do you have to be to race on a track?
Racers can be as young as four and a half, as old as 16 before they must “retire.” Most racers, if they are serious about it, move on to larger cars in other series long before they reach 16. There are 15 different classes of quarter-midgets at the mini-Mickyard, but they pretty much look the same to the uninitiated.
What age can you start rally driving?
To compete in the Junior 1000 Rally Championship, drivers must be a minimum of 14 years old.
Can kids do banger racing?

What are Rally passengers called?
A co-driver is the navigator of a rally car in the sport of rallying, who sits in the front passenger seat. The co-driver's job is to navigate, commonly by reading off a set of pacenotes to the driver (what lies ahead, where to turn, the severity of the turn, and what obstacles to look out for).
How do I get my child to race?
Join a motorsport club or league.
Some options to look into are Go-Kart, Motor Cross, Dirt Biking, Autocross, AutoSOLOs, Circuit racing, and Rallycross. Not only will this expose your child to training opportunities, but it will also put your child in a great position to meet other children with similar interests.

Do rally drivers memorize the track?
You can memorise each corner, when you drive normally, but when you are rallying, that memory is way too slow, because you are entirely focused on the corner you're going through, that you cannot think about what's coming next.
Do rally driver listen to co-driver?
To create a complete set of pacenotes, each crew is allowed only two run-throughs of the route ahead of the rally. On the first run, the driver dictates notes to the co-driver, who writes them down. During the second pass, the co-driver reads them out loud and the driver corrects and fine-tunes them.
