S.Moss has given some good advice there. I come from a short circuit background and despite your size [you've yet to give us your weight which is most important], I wouldn't rule out the contemporary short circuit scene either. There are bespoke 'heavyweight' categories there so you can be competitive - 'Ghinzani' on here is a big guy and does relatively well in prokarts - though there's also Rotax Max Heavy for 2 strokes as well.

The most important thing at this stage is to go to race meetings - short and long course - and speak to people. Try out the schools - there are also short circuit equivalents - and build up your understanding and knowledge BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING !
