How To
How to get started racing in another nation
First, find a local club to practice your skills and compete. Racing in other countries can be very difficult because there are different laws regarding driving. Some countries prohibit drivers from overtaking at any point along the road. Some countries restrict overtaking to entering a circle. Some countries require cars to make a special sound when they enter or exit a roundabout. It is a good idea to check the regulations of each country before you travel overseas. This way, you won't get a ticket from the police for breaking the law.
