How To
How to get started racing in another nation
First, find a club in your area where you can practice and compete. It can be challenging to race in another country because of different driving laws. Some countries forbid drivers from passing another vehicle at any time. Others allow drivers to overtake only when they enter a roundabout. Some countries require vehicles to make a distinct sound when they enter a roundabout. The best thing to do before traveling overseas is to research the regulations for each country you plan to visit. This way, you won't get a ticket from the police for breaking the law.
