Capex Racing Academy offers the best racing services in D.C. With our world-class race tracks in DC, we are providing budget-friendly services for you to enjoy with your friends and family. There is also an upcoming outdoor event happening on the 15th of July for all racing enthusiasts.
Before diving into the services, let’s look at what motorsports are and how to get into this sport for adults.
What is the Cheapest Motorsport to Start?
Go-karting is the cheapest form of motorsport to start racing. It is pocket-friendly and gives you the taste of car racing. We are not discussing indoor go-kart racing. But the real outdoor racing go-karts. These vehicles can go at 100 mph, which is fast, considering you are just inches above the ground.
Adult karting costs can vary a lot. Here’s a breakdown:
- Kart: A new Rotax 125 kart costs around $3,000, but you can find good deals on used ones. Talk to local teams for advice.
- Running costs: You’ll need to buy fuel and tires. The parts you need depend on how often you crash and how much you want to upgrade. Initially, aim for more track time over expensive parts.
- Tires: Some drivers can use a single set for a long time, while others buy new ones every race weekend. Focus on getting practice over speed at first.
How can I start racing?
Fueled by the excitement of watching professional races, you’re eager to get behind the wheel and experience the thrill of racing yourself. Let’s get you on the track!
To start racing yourself, you must follow the following steps to become a pro:
- Sharpen Your Skills: Master the art of high-speed driving through karting or dedicated racing schools.
- Join the Crew: Find a racing club like the SCCA to access competitions, resources, and guidance.
- Gear Up: Secure a reliable, race-ready vehicle (consider customization options) and essential safety equipment.
- Get Licensed: Obtain a competition license from your club to compete officially.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Aim for at least five weekly track sessions and regular race participation.
- Train Like a Pro: Develop a physical training regimen and study professional races to refine your technique.
- Shine Bright: Consistent wins and a solid social media presence will attract sponsors and teams, paving the way for professional racing.
