I thought Rolf was a funeral director!
The thing is at the beginning, you need a parent with some disposaable income. So that when the other kids parents are paying $100 per year to have their little ones play soccer, your Dad has a few grand for a Go Cart and 500 bucks for the season.
This rules a lot of people out.
Then as you go higher the stakes get higher as well. So that when you are 17, trying to survive as an apprentice on your own, you can't afford a F Ford, a pushbike to get to work, food and shelter. You need some outside help.
Of those that get the help. Plenty of them are talented. Or have had the opportunity to develop their talent.
