Homologation refers to the process of having something approved by an authority. This authority could be a government agency, court or professional body. These authorities work with a set standard and rules. Homologating your car may be an exciting experience but can also pose problems. Continue reading if you're unsure if your car is eligible for homologation. This article will explain the process.
Accreditation of a car to participate in motorsport events
It's not difficult to get a car approved for participation in sanctioned motorsport events. There are several requirements, including a driver’s licence. NASA or SCCA don't have as high a bar for applicants, and the FIA will also examine the driver's history and experience. A license issued by a regional body like SCCA is acceptable to sanction bodies in the US. However, if you intend to compete in another region, you will need to show that you have sufficient experience.
Homologation requirements
The requirements for getting a car homologated depend on the country in which you intend to race it. Many countries have their own governing bodies, and in the United States, the process is governed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). NHTSA homologates vehicles, race tracks and other motor vehicles in addition to safety guidelines. The FIA also approves helmets and protective clothing.
Homologation refers to the certification that a vehicle meets international standards. After initial assessments, the process moves to testing and conforming to international standards. The substantiated technical report is then submitted to the relevant authorities for final approval. This video explains the process and how OEMs can gain homologation.
Problems in getting your car homologated
Homologating a car is not an easy process. Every country has its national governing body for motorsports. The FIA sets the standards and homologates racing cars as well as protective clothing and helmets. The car must comply with all regulations in the country it is being registered in order to be allowed to enter the EU.
Homologation is typically performed by federal agencies. Homologation is a process that certifies that a vehicle meets the technical standards and regulations of a specific market. Motorsports requires stringent testing. Motorsports are only allowed if the car has been homologated. You might need to consider another method if your car is not homologated.
