Not exactly - you have to 'apply' to get into the TDI cup, and if they think you might be good enough there's a 3 day event that you go to where the select 30 drivers. And then you have to come up with $35k (I think) to run the series, plus additional costs (I think body damage isnt covered).
Money talks in pro racing - very, very few paid drivers out there. Most either bring a checkbook or sponsorship in.
