How To
How do you start racing in another place?
First, you will need to find a local club where you can practice and compete. It can be challenging to race in another country because of different driving laws. Some countries, for example, prohibit drivers from taking overtaking at any location on the road. Others allow drivers to overtake only when they enter a roundabout. Some countries require cars to make a special sound when they enter or exit a roundabout. Before you travel abroad, it is important to study the laws in each country. This way, you won't get a ticket from the police for breaking the law.
