At present, domestic automobile sports are mainly divided into track race, rally race and cross-country race. Correspondingly, race photos are also divided into rally photos, track photos and cross-country photos.

Track race refers to dozens of races on the circular track of Shanghai Circuit, Zhuhai Circuit and Beijing Jingang Circuit. Due to the limited number of vehicles and drivers who start at the same time, there are very few drivers with photos of the track race. Moreover, many of them have gradually grown up from go-karting teenagers, and the cost is very high. If you want to be a driver of F 1, you need to start with go-karting and low-level formula racing, you need to invest millions every year, and you need sponsors to watch it. Therefore, for ordinary people, this dream is out of reach.

Rally refers to the competition on complex roads such as asphalt road, gravel road, gravel road and dirt road in the wild. Because the cost is relatively low, there are more participants, which is full of fun and more suitable for adults. So most drivers in China get photos of the rally.

China Automobile Sports Federation (FASC) is a member organization of the International Automobile Federation (FIA). Under the leadership of the State Sports General Administration, it is the only legal organization to supervise the implementation and promotion of the FIA Constitution, sports rules and technical rules in People's Republic of China (PRC).

2. On the basis of having a driver's license, conduct a training and get a photo of the D-level temporary rally.

As long as you have a driver's license, you can participate in racing training. China Automobile Sports Federation allows qualified clubs to hold racing training classes. The training content must be carried out in accordance with the syllabus of China Automobile Association, using the prescribed training materials and related professional materials, and combining theory with practice to ensure the training quality. China Automobile Federation will appoint instructors and special personnel to supervise the training.

The training places are mainly in Beijing Tongzhou China Automobile Association Training Base, Shanghai Volkswagen 333 Team, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangdong, Shanxi and other places.

The training start time is uncertain, so we need to consult the China Automobile Association (0 10-896 12338).

The training time is generally 3 days, mainly to learn the basic theory and practical knowledge of racing car, as well as the basic safety modification of racing car, and the basic operation methods of driving racing car, such as braking, cornering and steering, etc., mainly on gravel roads. Coaches demonstrate one by one and personally lead students to drive on professional tracks to help them master the basic essentials of racing as soon as possible. Three days of training, mainly training three skills, one is linear acceleration; The second is to use ABS-like point braking technology for fast short-distance braking when driving at high speed; The third is the fast cornering technology, which is drift. Don't underestimate these three skills. Getting into a modified standard racing car is completely different from ordinary driving. For example, after the first item, you will definitely ask others if they are willing to drive you home, because you will feel that you will "not be able to drive normally". You may think that the training fee is too high, but the high training fee is only equivalent to compensation. Many students will damage a part of the car while driving, and these maintenance fees are very expensive.

After the training, they passed the exam, and a month later, they got a temporary D-level photo.

Training costs range from 5000 to 6000 yuan. For example, the training cost of Shanghai Volkswagen 333 team 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.

Take a photo of the rally.

After training, you can basically pass the exam, and then you can have a racing driver's license. The racing driver's license is divided into six grades: temporary D, temporary D, C, B, A and Super (F 1 only for drivers). Only Grade C (including Grade C) or above can participate in international competitions, and Grade D can participate in the national rally championship. As for those who have passed the training and participated in the national short-track rally at least twice in one year, they can be converted to Class D, and only the top players in the national rally are eligible to be upgraded to Class C. At present, the driver's license of domestic racers is issued by the FIA authorized by the FIA of China, with the front in Chinese and the back in English. At present, more than 20 excellent racers in China have obtained C-level photos.

3. Participated in two national short track rally.

As long as you are trained and have photos of temporary D-level events, you can participate in the national automobile short-track rally. The cost of the event is the lowest, and there is no need to bring your own car and modified car. The registration fee for each competition is 500 yuan, the rental fee is 1 1,000 yuan, the equipment fee is 1 1,000 yuan, and the car damage deposit is 3,000 yuan (without causing car damage). Take part in the national short-track rally twice a year, and the temporary D-level photo will be automatically upgraded to the D-level photo, and then you will be eligible to take part in the national rally as a racing driver.

At this stage, you can be called a racing driver and realize your racing dream by spending about 65,438+0,000-20,000 yuan. However, if you want to be a professional player and player, you need to make further efforts and perform the following steps.

4. spend money to modify the racing car

A driver's license without a car is like a bullet without a gun. Just like bullets with guns, racing cars are very different from ordinary civilian cars. In other words, it must be modified to meet the safety standards stipulated by the China Automobile Federation before it can participate in the competition. Of course, there are also professional racing cars. You can try those you can afford. It costs hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan to convert an ordinary car into a racing car suitable for road races. It is conceivable that buying a regular racing car directly will only cost more and do less.

According to the regulations of China Automobile Sports Federation (FASC), all cars of domestic automobile manufacturers with an annual output of more than 2,500 vehicles can participate in various domestic competitions through application approval. At present, the only domestic brand cars that can participate in international competitions, that is, those officially registered in the International Automobile Sports Federation, are Jetta of FAW-Volkswagen and POLO of Shanghai Volkswagen.

As a means of transportation, whether it is transportation, commercial operation or automobile rally, its safety performance is the first to bear the brunt. The simplest and most basic modification of safety performance. First of all, it is necessary to install the roll cage, replace the racing seat, and replace the safety belt with the designated product registered by the International Automobile Sports Federation, that is, the special safety belt for racing. In addition, racing cars must be equipped with fire extinguishing devices. There are two kinds of existing fire extinguishing devices: manual and automatic. Racing drivers should also take necessary safety measures, such as wearing flame-retardant racing clothes, fire gloves and protective shoes. It is particularly noteworthy that no matter the refitted accessories, racing driver's clothes and fire extinguishers, they must use the designated products officially registered by the International Automobile Sports Federation before they can participate in the competition. Drivers in the 2009 national rally championship need to add Hans equipment.

If ordinary fans just want to have fun, they can spend the least money. Under the guidance of some big teams or old drivers with racing experience, only the minimum configuration that can participate in rally can be installed, and the modification cost is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. That is, on the basis of retaining the core components such as the engine, only some small components are modified to increase certain safety, including the necessary steering wheel, seat, four-point or six-point seat belt, entry-level shock absorber and other simple configurations.

Ordinary drivers and drivers have to spend at least 200,000 yuan on refitting. The year before last, the Shanghai Volkswagen 333 team once shipped a car back to the original factory in Germany, and completed the modification of the highest configuration within the range that the car could bear. The whole process cost more than 6.5438+0 million yuan. Last year, the Subaru team modified the tenth generation STI, which also cost more than 65,438+0 million.

5. Participate in the national rally championship.

The cost of the competition is also relatively large, and the money is mainly used for car maintenance 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 cost of five or six cars participating in the Shanghai Volkswagen 333 motorcade is about 6,543,800 yuan. Generally, each car of small teams and individuals is around 60,000 yuan.

The domestic big teams basically pay for their own races, and the drivers are the bosses, such as Wan Yu Rally Team, Ma Junkun of Honghe Team and Wei of Parking Team. They all earn enough money in other industries and then invest heavily in racing to fully enjoy the fun of racing and speed.

6. Participate in international competitions

If the driver's level is high enough, he can get the C-class driver's license issued by China Automobile Federation, and the financial strength is strong enough, the vehicle is well modified and the team management level is high. He can form his own team or join other teams to participate in international competitions, such as participating in the Asia-Pacific Rally, WRC World Rally Championship and Dakar Rally.

In short, the quickest way is to get an ordinary driver's license-race license (temporary D-level)-race license (two low-cost short-track rally, converted to D-level)-run the race and training at your own expense-run well (photos of promotion to C-level)-the team pays attention to you and joins the team.
