If you want to become a racing driver, please read below! \x0d\\x0d\Get a training\x0d\\x0d\As long as you have more than two years of driving experience, you can participate in racing training. The author learned that the China Automobile Federation has reformed the racing driver's license training and designated three designated training bases across the country, namely the Shanghai Volkswagen 333 Racing Team, the Beijing Automobile Federation Base and the Kunming Honghe Racing Team. The training lasts for 3 days. After the training, those who pass the assessment will be issued a temporary C license. It is understood that Shanghai Volkswagen 333 Racing Team has a full schedule this year, with about 6 races initially scheduled. The latest session will be held from May 21st to 23rd, and the minimum number of training participants is 15. The entire training cost is 6,000 yuan, including license fees, training fees, a one-piece racing suit and a pair of racing shoes. In addition, the team will also arrange special cars to transport students to and from the city and the training ground. \x0d\\x0d\Take a racing license\x0d\\x0d\After training and passing the examination, you can have a racing license. The racing driver's license is divided into six levels: E-class, D-class, C-class, B-class, A-class and super class (only for F1 drivers). Only Class C (including Class C) and above can participate in international competitions, Class D can participate in domestic competitions, and Class E can only participate in provincial and municipal competitions or serve as navigators in national rallies, but cannot participate in national competitions. The provisional C-level students must participate in at least two national competitions within two years before they can be converted into official C-level students. At present, the driver's license of domestic racing drivers is issued by the China Automobile Federation authorized by the FIA. The front is in Chinese and the back is in English. According to reports, more than 20 outstanding domestic racing drivers have obtained C-class licenses. \x0d\\x0d\Modifying a racing car\x0d\\x0d\This link requires a large amount of capital investment, which is an important reason why racing is far away from the average person. Although the cost of modification is expensive, the author does not agree with the outside world's view that motor racing is a waste of money. If the average car fan just wants to have fun, the club also has a series of configurations of various levels, which can be decided according to the financial strength of the driver and the team. The minimum configuration that can be used on the rally track is to modify some small parts to increase a certain degree of safety and retain core components such as the engine. The price is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, including the necessary steering wheel, seats, four or six points. Point safety belts, entry-level shock absorbers and other simple configurations. If you become a member of the club, you will receive free clothing and other equipment for competition training. The membership fee is 100 yuan a year. The average cost for drivers and driver modifications is at least 200,000 yuan. \x0d\\x0d\Participate in a competition\x0d\\x0d\The cost of participating in the competition is also relatively large. The money is mainly used to maintain the car during the competition. Generally, to participate in a national competition, the entire process from registration to insurance will not exceed 2,000 yuan. However, this figure is only a fraction of the cost of maintaining the competition. The operating expenses of large teams are generally relatively high. The cost of participating in a competition for a large team with a large number of cars is about 1 million yuan. Generally, small teams and individuals have two ways to become a driver with a car of about 6.\x0d\One is the way to spend a lot of money and the way to spend a small amount of money. The way to spend no money is to trouble you to help wash it. Racing. Let me first talk about ways to spend a lot of money. First of all, you must attend racing training in accordance with the requirements of the China Automobile Federation and obtain a D-class temporary rally license. Generally, the national average price for entry-level training is around 6,000. The training lasts three days. The training content is general driving skills and some safety measures, etc. It will not teach you too advanced driving skills because you are still in the primary stage at that time. . OK, after getting the D-class temporary rally car license, you will happily become a racing driver, but you are just a junior driver. If you look down, you will know that you are still early. According to the regulations of the Automobile Federation, you must participate in two national short-track rallies with a D Pro Rallycross License, so you can change to a D Official Race License the next year. Speaking of the National Short Track Rally Championship and the National Rally Championship, I need to explain it, because many friends have difficulty understanding these two names. First of all, after you get the D temporary license, you can sign up to participate in the Group B competition (amateur group) in the National Short Track Rally. Then when you have the opportunity to win the top three in any sub-station in Group B , you can participate in Group A competition (professional group) next year.

If you can run very good results in Group A or even win multiple championships or the annual championship, then you will participate in the National Rally Championship, and you will feel that there are too many experts in it, and you will not be able to win the championship. , even the result of being brushed to the end. Okay, back to the topic, if you have the financial strength, then when you get the D official rally license, you are actually already a racing driver and have achieved your goal. Then you will have to spend a lot of money. You don’t need to participate in any short track races. Take a look at the China CRC (National Rally Championship), which group do you prefer to compete in? There are so many categories such as N4, N2, S1, S2, and S3. You You can choose arbitrarily. The N4 category is the highest category of competition, and it is also the category with the most experts and the most money. However, you can choose to drive a four-wheel drive EVO or STI, which is very exciting and can feel a very intense experience. The thrill of drifting around corners. Then let me take N4 as an example, because I run N4 so I know the situation better. If you are just starting out, don’t expect a team to hire you. Then you have to buy an N4 racing car to run around. Generally, the price of buying a semi-retired N4 racing car is between 250,000 and 500,000, depending on the racing equipment you choose. Condition. Then the most economical way to save money after you buy a racing car is to find a racing team and let them be responsible for your logistical maintenance and racing oil. Generally, you bring your own car to join the team and run. The team usually charges a service fee of 30,000 to 4. Ten thousand. The fleet provides maintenance, general aviation fuel, and is responsible for adjusting your car's computer and tires, that's all. Then you just run slowly like this, running 5 races a year, and you have to prepare hundreds of thousands to replace parts and repair the car. After you spend more than one million, two situations will happen. , one is that if you are indeed capable, then those rally teams will consider asking you to be a driver for the team to earn points. In this case, you don’t have to pay, and you don’t have to worry about anything. The team will help you take care of all your food and accommodation expenses. Of course, you don’t have to worry about racing. The team will help you prepare the car and use the team’s best resources for you. You can also get paid for each game. You will become a real professional driver. All these prerequisites The condition is that you have to spend your own money to participate in the competition in the beginning. Another situation is that you can’t achieve any results, so you have no choice but to continue to spend a lot of money to run races, and you are considered a self-funded driver. The above has basically introduced you to the journey of becoming a driver. The above mentioned are financial conditions, so don’t worry if you don’t have that much money. As long as you think you are a talented driver and a capable driver, there will still be teams that will hire you< /p>
