Where to Obtain a Racing License?
1 Answers
Racing licenses can only be obtained through the China Automobile and Motorcycle Sports Federation (CAMF). Below is relevant information about racing licenses: 1. Introduction: The first step to becoming a racing driver is obtaining a racing license. Currently, there are only a few driving schools in China authorized by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and certified by CAMF to issue racing licenses, including the CAMF Training Center, Beijing Haidian Driving School, and Fengbao Racing Club. 2. Regulations: According to CAMF (FASC) regulations, any domestic car manufacturer producing over 2,500 vehicles annually can apply for approval to participate in domestic races. As for domestic brands eligible for international competitions, only FAW-Volkswagen's Jetta King is officially registered with FIA. Racing cars must undergo safety modifications before competing. Firstly, a roll cage must be installed, racing seats must be replaced, and seat belts must be upgraded to FIA-registered designated products, specifically racing seat belts. Additionally, racing cars must be equipped with fire extinguishing systems, which come in manual and automatic versions. Drivers must also take necessary safety precautions, such as wearing flame-resistant racing suits, fireproof gloves, and protective shoes during competitions. It is particularly important to note that all modifications, including parts, driver apparel, and fire extinguishers, must use FIA-registered designated products to be eligible for competition.
