How To
How to start racing in another country
First, find a local club to practice your skills and compete. It can be challenging to race in another country because of different driving laws. Some countries do not allow drivers to pass at any other point. Others allow drivers to overtake only when they enter a roundabout. Some countries require cars that make a certain sound when they enter or leave a roundabout. It is a good idea to check the regulations of each country before you travel overseas. By doing this, you will not be charged with breaking the law and won't face any ticket from the police.
