What is the world wide total number of ?RACING? drivers who race using
4 wheel vehicles? I am not interested in "regular" drivers only racing
drivers.
I would like the information broken down according to the following
CUMULATIVE breakdowns:
(a) PER COUNTRY listed on the FIA web site
http://www.fiacommunications.com/thefia/Membership/index_members.html
- If you cannot provide this for all countries, I would ask for the
following countries/regions: North America (USA, Canada), Western
Europe (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal) and Japan.
(b) PER RACING SEGMENT + Name of sanctioning body in each country
http://www.fiacommunications.com/sport/Championships/2006.html
If no information for all the segments in each country then for the
biggest segments in each country (in terms of number of drivers)
(c) # OF PROFESSIONAL VS. # OF AMATEUR DRIVERS (amateur = sometimes
referred to as "grass roots" drivers). Professional will those racing
for a living. Amateurs would be those racing for "fun". This is the
most important part of the question.
(d) IF POSSIBLE, all the above broken down by:
Age ? under 15; 16-18; 19-30; 30+
Sex
Sex by age
Search strategy:
- You might want to search sites of FIA member clubs like for the USA at:
http://www.fiacommunications.com/thefia/Membership/North_America/index_usa.html
and http://www.accusfia.us/member_clubs.html. These lead to
sanctioning bodies? sites that might have details re number of
drivers?
- A good indicator might be the number of registered license holders
in each country/segment etc. because in order to race one needs a
special license?
Note: Please provide along with the answers - all related documents
used and quoted. I need these as a reference. Please refer to current
numbers (2002 +) or if you can't get current, provide a 5 year scale.
It is very important that the source is cited and reliable.
I have come across info on this at the following sites:

http://www.theracingworld.com/about_site/company
I will consider paying more for a very good detailed answer.
Thank you. |
