Many people think of NASCAR or even Formula One racing as the National Championship of Auto Racing. Not true. You can race in a variety of Auto Racing events that are not part of the Championship. Let's take a look at some of the Auto Racing Rules and how you can get ready for qualifying in these events.
Each year, the rules for Auto Racing change slightly. In recent years the eligibility age has been raised. This is because of the racing fraternity, which started taking up the sport in the late 1950s. The ability to qualify for races is based on your age in relation to your driver's age. For example, you might be seventeen years old and a sixteen-year-old and still not be allowed to race unless they are one year apart.
As the regulations continue to change, each year the younger drivers get to race a bit longer than the older drivers. They get to start more often. Drivers who are eighteen to nineteen years old are allowed to start at least one race earlier each year.
Each year there is also a different designated driver for the top team car or for the cars that have more than one driver in them. The rules for team cars are different. The Rules for top team cars are written by the governing body for Auto Racing.
Qualifying for races is based on the point system. In order to be allowed to run in an event, you have to qualify. There are several qualifying standards depending on what type of car you drive. Each car has a different qualifying standard.
Each vehicle that is not used in a race gets a point. The higher the speed, the higher the number of points will be. As you start to hit the top speed on the track, you can earn more points.
In addition to that, safety cars are available for races as well. These can help in stopping other cars from being unsafely running around. Another rule allows a safety car to be used when the organizers feel that the safety car can help a driver or cars to avoid an accident. When this rule is in effect, the safety car will only be used during the early part of the race, when it is safe to use a street course.
For the driver, if they are going to be running out of track, the race is over once they hit the first corner. The same goes for the points being calculated. There is no allowance for a driver to go longer than they should on the track.
Once the race begins, each car is responsible for the racing around the track. Each car will hit each corner in a different order. As the race starts, the cars will accelerate as fast as they can. If the cars accelerate too fast, it may cause them to back up.
The organizers usually have a limit entry in every race. They set a minimum number of drivers who can be in the race to make sure that the cars that enter the race are only going to be able to go the full distance.
Once the race starts, it goes until there is only one car left. If this happens, the race is over and the winner is the car that gets the most points.
These are the simple auto racing rules. There are rules for safety as well as other issues that come up. The more you know about how Auto Racing works, the better you will be able to get ready for qualifying in events.
