You'd need to invent a time machine, go back in time, and start training about 20 years ago. Most of these guys started karting, at like age 5.

Would help to be born to exceedingly rich parents too. I think most of the back markers are paying for their rides.

Rich parents + karting at 3 year old (maybe earlier if you are smart) + relationships with manufacturers + time machine (assuming you are at least 16 yrs old now which is too late) + luck = meeting the minimums.

Good luck.

Good luck.
Also helps if you?re jockey sized.

So are you superbly rich, stupidly small and in possession of a DeLorean with a flux capacitor?

If not, may I suggest alcohol and recreational drugs?

Forgot about the small size requirement lol

That's why I can only dream about it when in sim racing and going to DE's.

I want to be a professional NBA player for the Lakers, Cavs, and Warriors. What do I have to do?

I want to be an internationally well known movie star like Denzel, Will Smith, and Jacky Chan. What are the requirements?

How fucking old are you?

Apply online. If they think you'd be a good fit, they'll call you to schedule an interview. Next step from there would be an in-person evaluation where they fly you out to a track where you have to qualify.

However, if you have advanced degree or are working toward an advanced degree - you can literally check the websites of formula one teams to read if there are any openings in particular fields.

Have you proposed maybe attending a racing school and learn what the sport is all about ?
