High School
Take mathematics and physics in high school to better understand the science behind automotive design and racing. Shop courses, especially those that focus on auto repair, will help you to learn how to repair vehicles. Top race car drivers are often interviewed by the media and otherwise serve as representatives of their racing teams. Taking speech classes will help you to develop your communication skills, which will help you to thrive during these interactions.
Postsecondary Education
There are many racing schools that help aspiring and current drivers to build their skills. Contact schools in your area for enrollment information.
Certification
Many racing and driving schools award a certificate of achievement to students who complete their programs. Some professional associations (such as the Sports Car Club of America, https://www.scca.com/pages/driver-s-school-w-table) offer lists of driving schools on their Web sites.
