Hi f1ciamp.
I don't know what it's like now, but the great Niki Lauda bought his first F1 drive with borrowed money from a bank.
I seem to remember that the terms of the loan included a life insurance policy, so if he was hurt in a racing crash, the payout would pay the debt.
More recently, Tony Kanaan had almost no backing for his dream, and look where he is now! If you're good enough, people will see it.
Britain is well known for being good for racing, but very poor for sponsorship. I think it may be better to try to find Italian sponsors who want their names promoted in the well publicised British race series.
I believe you may already have a first. I think you may be the first Italian poster on ten-tenths forums.
