re: not much or no karting racing experience... the obvious one is bruno senna, but he obviously has a few other things going for him.
the trend you're going to see now with the ginetta juniors and formula 4 is kids who are 16 having already done several years in car racing. example: jordan cane, who just turned 16 and is competing in brdc "british f3". he's already done several seasons worth of racing in the states. cameron das is a year older with the same amount of experience but not a huge amount of karting. slightly older, but jamie chadwick is 19 and has 5 seasons worth of pretty diverse car racing experience.
obviously they're all very well off, but i'd be interested to see what the actual cost (minus prize money paying for it, for example) of running an equivalent car would have been 40 years ago. then turn it into todays money.
