You should go ahead and create a company for this, look into insurance, get some basic level of marketing up, etc.

Right now it just looks like a website, with no company (nothing in the footer with even an LLC or anything, and "Joshua Schachter is trying to start a low-end autonomous racing series." needs work as an about section), no news section, no press info section, etc.

The domain name is great, but you'll need much more to really get it going.

For examples:

Founding section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASCAR

Race sanctioning section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianapolis_500

History section of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One

You could probably pose as an interested historian and get information from each of these organizations about how they are setup and some hoops you might have to go through.

I'm familiar with all of this. It's not necessary to run just a track day. Insurance is dealt with already, etc.

There are, however, almost no vehicles actually set up for this, so the first thing that is needed is a place to test the cars and for people doing this to talk to each other.
