Where Can I Take the Racing Driver's License Test?
2 Answers
To obtain a racing driver's license, you need to undergo training, and the car owner must have more than two years of driving experience before participating in racing training. The following is an introduction to the racing driver's license: 1. The China Automobile Federation has reformed the racing driver's license training: it has designated three national training bases, namely Shanghai Volkswagen 333 Team, Beijing Automobile Federation Base, and Kunming Honghe Team. The training lasts for 3 days, and after passing the assessment, a temporary Class C license will be issued. 2. Upon passing the assessment, you can obtain a racing driver's license: the racing driver's license is divided into six levels, namely Class E, Class D, Class C, Class B, Class A, and Super Class (for F1 drivers). Only Class C and above can participate in international competitions, Class D can participate in domestic competitions, and Class E can only participate in provincial or municipal competitions or serve as a navigator in national rally races, but cannot participate in national-level competitions. As for the temporary Class C license issued after passing the training, you must participate in at least two national-level competitions within two years to convert it into a formal Class C license.
As a racing enthusiast, I just got my racing license last month, and the process was quite fun. The main venue was the training course at Beijing Goldenport International Circuit, which offers courses authorized by the China Automobile and Motorcycle Sports Federation. You need to sign up in advance for a weekend training session. The content includes theoretical lessons on safety rules and vehicle knowledge, followed by on-track practice for emergency braking and cornering. The exam is straightforward—pass it, and you'll get the license. Other popular venues like Shanghai International Circuit and Zhuhai International Circuit (ZIC) are similar. I checked their official websites, and the fees are around 3,000 RMB, which isn't too expensive. I recommend beginners sign up directly through official channels and avoid intermediaries. After getting the license, you can join club races—it's super exciting! Remember to wear your racing suit and never skimp on safety gear. Regularly participating in open track days for practice can help improve your skills.
