They have a plan.
It has always been the dream of countless people to become a racing driver and drive their own "love riding" on the field. With the development of motor racing, these once unreachable dreams are gradually becoming a reality. Recently, the author interviewed the press officer of Shanghai Volkswagen 333 Racing Club Co., Ltd., and Mr. Wang introduced the relevant situation to us and told you how to become a real racing driver.
Conduct training
As long as you have more than two years of driving experience, you can participate in racing training. The author understands that China Automobile Federation has reformed the training of racing driver's license, and designated three designated training bases in China, namely Shanghai Volkswagen 333 Team, Beijing Automobile Federation Base and Kunming Honghe Team. The training lasts for 3 days, and temporary C photos will be issued after the training. It is understood that the schedule of the Shanghai Volkswagen 333 team is very full this year, and the initial arrangement is about 6 periods. The latest issue will be held on May 2 1-23, and the minimum number of trainees is 15. The whole training cost is 6000 yuan, including license fee, training fee, a racing suit and a pair of racing shoes. In addition, the team will arrange a special car to transport students to and from the city and the training ground.

You can have a racing driver's license after passing the training exam. The racing driver's license is divided into six grades: E, D, C, B, A and Super (F 1 for drivers only). Only C-level (including C-level) or above can participate in international competitions, D-level can participate in domestic competitions, and E-level can only participate in provincial and municipal competitions or be a pilot in national rally, and cannot participate in national competitions. As for the temporary C-level issued after passing the training, you must participate in at least two national competitions within two years before you can become a formal C-level. At present, the driver's license of domestic racers is issued by the FIA authorized by the FIA of China, with Chinese on the front and English on the back. According to reports, more than 20 outstanding racers in China have obtained C-level photos.
Modified racing car
This link requires a lot of capital investment, which is also an important reason why the car is far away from ordinary people. Although the modification cost is expensive, I don't agree that racing is burning money. If ordinary fans just want to have fun, the club also has a series of configurations of various grades, which can be decided according to the economic strength of drivers and teams. The minimum configuration of rally track is to modify some small parts to increase certain safety and keep the core components such as engine. The price is 20-30 thousand yuan, including the necessary steering wheel, seat, four-point or six-point seat belt, entry-level shock absorber and other simple configurations. If you become a member of the club, you will also be given clothes such as competition training. Membership fee is one year 100 yuan. Ordinary drivers and drivers have to spend at least 200,000 yuan on refitting.
Participate in the competition
The cost of participating in the competition is also relatively large, and the money is mainly used to maintain the car during the competition. Generally, to participate in a national competition, the whole procedure from registration to insurance will not exceed 2000 yuan. However, this figure is only a fraction of the maintenance cost of the game. The operating expenses of large motorcades are generally high, and the expenses for large motorcades with multiple cars to participate in the competition are about 6,543,800 yuan. Generally, small teams and individuals are around 6 per car.
First, join a local go-kart club with a certain scale (note: it must be a big club, because a big club can apply for a racing driver's license and hold competitions regularly). When you have certain driving skills, you are required to apply for a driver's license and participate in club competitions.
The driver's license is divided into five grades. If you get a certain score in a grade, you can apply for an upgrade. So you can take part in the national competition. Even better, you can sign a contract with your favorite team and participate in international competitions. But it's hard.
You can get a racing license from the training center of China Automobile Sports Federation, Beijing Haidian Driving School and Feng Bao Racing Club. But to be a racing driver, the amount of RMB is the key. Without sponsors and millions, you can't get an ordinary racing car that can adapt to road congestion.
Note: Because motor racing is not popular in China, it needs to have a certain economic pillar strength.
After passing the general driving test for two years, you can participate in the FIA racing driver training course, which is divided into rally training and venue training. Rally training produces an E-class racing driver's license, and the venue is generally a C-class racing driver's license. After participating in more than five races, drivers can apply for higher-level race photos. By analogy, domestic B can apply for FIA racing driver's license and participate in international competitions.
Baidu knows the advice of the racing car classification expert (Hou):
As a racing driver, in addition to his own potential and acquired efforts, he should also have the spirit of teamwork and the quality of being open-minded and eager to learn. In addition, the most important thing is to have the support of family or wallet. Racing is a sport that burns money. Without money, it is basically difficult in your racing career.
At present, China, Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai, Hunan and other places have racing training bases authorized by the China Automobile Federation, such as Hao Wei Team and Haidian Driving School Team in Beijing, as well as regular training courses of the China Automobile Federation, Team 333 in Shanghai and Huizhou International Circuit in Guangdong, all of which accept registration.
In terms of cost, at present, it is generally about 6000 yuan for three days or about 20 thousand yuan for 15 days in China.
To become a professional driver, you have to wait and then constantly hone yourself. Domestic motor racing has just started, and many places are still not perfect, so is the discovery of drivers.
At present, Chen, the top racing driver in China, earns more than one million yuan a year, while other big team drivers range from 400,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan, and the small team/kloc-0,000 yuan a year. But if there is no car with any achievements, I am afraid I will have to spend my own money to race. If I throw away the purchase and modification of racing cars, the registration fee for a race is about 8000 yuan, and the accommodation insurance plus a race is about 1 10,000 yuan. And it doesn't include the transportation and transportation costs of racing cars. There are six races a year, which means that a driver spends about100000 per year. This is still the case that the vehicle is not damaged. If you are unfortunately overturned and crashed, the money for repairing the car will be even greater.
