If you are based in the Uk, you have to go to a race school. Examples being the Ron Haslam Race School or the California superbike school. After that you join a race club and enter events. As you gain experience your license can be upgraded to allow you to enter more events at a higher level.

Join your local club and they will fill you in on what you need to do.
Forget track days, unless for some reason you do have to do them.
Even just get involved in the club to see what goes on.

1/ Your bank manager
2/ The Spanish 125 Championship
3/ Alberto Puig
I have a feeling that these might be far less forthcoming that you would have supposed.
a/ A superhuman natural talent
b/ A Spanish passport
c/ Been placed upon a motorcycle before the midwife had a chance to clear up the afterbirth

A lot of people say that but it's a bit of a myth, simply because Spain produces so many good riders. If you were listening to the Red Bull rookies at Silverstone on Saturday (perhaps you were?), you might have noticed a young british rider who has joint nationality and is Spanish in pretty much every way. He elects to race under the Union Jack because it INCREASES his chances of international success. Being Spanish is too competitve these days.

Well i've always been of the opinion it was give and take, but apparently being Spanish is actually harder. It makes sense because with so many excellent riders coming out of spain it requires more from an individual to get noticed and stand out above the competition. With Dorna trying to encourage other nationalities into the sport, being from a more minor racing nation can be beneficial. Like when footballers elect to play for less high profile national teams to make sure they get game time. A lad i went to school with plays for New Zealand, he would never have made the England team.
Lets hope so

Ah, ok, nothing wrong with being a Lorenzo fan, sorry for assuming you were in Spain.
I would have to say that you listen to the fellow Brits that post here and I would also look very closely at Bradley Smith's career, how he got started etc.
Good luck, I hope you find a way in.

If your daddy is a multi millionaire then............. you're all set. If not, club racing and getting your general pass while watching the Moto bikes zoom by ain't half that bad. Actually it is, but hey............. one can always dream.
