Just keep pushing. It's all that matters

Depends. Most people are too old to start training to be workd class drivers by the time they get their drivers license. If you just want to be a race car driver, do club racing, track days, or regional racing- as long as you are still able to drive a car you aren’t too old. A little age tends to help temper us, and usually means the money to afford what is a very expensive endeavor. As far as being competitive I know guys who stayed at the top of their classes well into retirement. If you don’t happen to be a savant at driving- next best bet is to do races which are won more off the track. Things where points strategy and car set up are king. There’s also road rally’s- where being an efficient, wise, and knowledgeable driver takes precident over reflex and motor skill. So you still have a shot. If racing is your passion there’s always an outlet.

Thanks for the paragraph but I’m too old

Then you’re too old. You weren’t kidding when you said “almost.” It only took you 3 hours to become too old.
