How To

How to start racing abroad

First, you need to locate a local club that allows you to practice 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 restrict overtaking to entering a circle. Some countries require that cars make a specific sound when entering or exiting a roundabout. The best thing you can do before you travel to another country is to read the regulations. By doing this, you will not be charged with breaking the law and won't face any ticket from the police.
