How To
How to start racing abroad
First, you will need to find a local club where you can 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 only allow overtaking when entering a roundabout. Some countries require that cars make a specific sound when entering or exiting a roundabout. It is a good idea to check the regulations of each country before you travel overseas. This will ensure that you don't get ticketed by the police for breaking any laws.
