How To
How to begin racing in another country
First, find a local club to practice your skills and compete. It can be challenging to race in another country because of different driving laws. For example, some countries don't allow drivers to overtake at any point on the road. Some countries allow only overtaking at a roundabout. Some countries require vehicles to make a distinct sound when they enter a roundabout. The best thing to do before traveling overseas is to research the regulations for each country you plan to visit. By doing this, you will not be charged with breaking the law and won't face any ticket from the police.
