hey guys, this is my first post on here, even though i go on this site everyday for about the last 4 months. I have a couple of stupid questions you guys might know. Im doing a carrer report for one of my classes in school. its a work experience ROP class. and we have to do a short 2 page report on a carrer and only a 3minute presintation. so i decided to do a d1gp driver for the carrer . i have to know a few things though. like what do these drivers get paid(i know it depends on what position they get). and what kind of qualifications for the job. do u have to have a certain license? and any other things that u guys might know about this job. i know most of these drivers race in JGTC and also own there own tuning companies.

First they only get paid if they win. Most of the drivers do own their own shops but allot work a 8to 5 just to eat. As for JgTC drivers only two of them do. These guys are like you and me and even thow they are supper heros they still got to eat. they still have problems, and they still strugle in life just like us. Most sponsorships are for parts only but if they apper in a video as a guest comentater or something they get a few bucks. Nomura gets 3g for an aperiance I dont know what Tsuchia gets but its around 8 to 9g.

I'm almost positive you need to get a racing license.Which means you need to go to a driving/race school.Which means you need to be a good driver And as drift xtreem said alot own their owns shops or work at shops.Most, if not all of there mods are paid for by sponsors.Again, to be sponsored, you have to be a good driver and get out on the track, get noticed.
BTW i think the word you're looking for is "career"

there is no such thing as a D1 license in Japan. I know first hand but there are ten seed drivers which meens they do not need to qualify for an event as long as they are in the top 10 standings. Sam is rated at 14th right now he would have to requalify to run in the next show under Japan D1 rules. You donot need a license to drive in the D1 you dont even need a DL to run in the D1.
Hope this helps
