How To
How to start racing abroad
First, you need to locate a local club that allows you to practice and compete. Because of the different driving laws in other countries, it can be difficult to race. Some countries, for example, prohibit drivers from taking overtaking at any location on the road. Other countries permit overtaking only when you enter a roundabout. Some countries require cars to make a special sound when they enter or exit a roundabout. Researching the regulations in each country is the best way to make sure you are safe when traveling abroad. By doing this, you will not be charged with breaking the law and won't face any ticket from the police.
