Elite sports are not a cheap field to enter. 

19-year-old Liam Sceats is on a journey to make it as a professional motorsport driver, aiming to achieve his dream of competing in IndyCar.  

He’s currently competition in Indy NXT with HMD Motorsports – and it’ll cost him $1.2 million USD to compete in all 12 rounds. 

Sceats currently has a three event deal, but will need to secure more funding to take it all the way to the end.  

However, obtaining funding is not as easy as simply doing well in the races. 

He told Mike Hosking that support certainly comes easier if you’re a winner, but for him it largely comes from hustling and doing the groundwork.
