Race Track Questions

JB1

1. As answered by others before me, you don't need a license for participating in track days or HPDE events. For Road America I'd suggest to check out MVP track time, they have an HPDE event scheduled in October. I'll be going there with one or two other Z buddies.

2. This depends on the type of racing you want to do. Different licenses are required for Road racing, Open wheelers, Rally etc. Check out the websites of the governing bodies for more info (NASA, SCCA, Grand Am, FIA etc)

3. In theory everybody can get an F1 license (an FIA Super license). But it is expensive and you have to work your way up through "lower" classes of racing (F3, GP2 etc) before you are eligible for an F1 license.

Alternatively, there are a couple of companies that offer F1 driving experiences, or rent out F1 cars as you put it. You don't need an F1 license to do that, but you will pay serious money for a couple of laps in an old(er) F1 car. Just search for "drive and F1 car" in google and you'll find the companies.

4. Not sure about the rules for Le Mans, but you will at least need the correct racing license and a car that meets all the requirements. Number of cars allowed to enter is limited so you probably have to qualify before you can even enter.

5. See point 1. Here is a handy link for track days: MyTrackSchedule.com - Your key to more track events!

6. Search the NASA and SCCA websites for road racing related stuff.

7. You don't have to be a member to drive at Autobahn in Joliet, there are a couple companies that Organize track days there. See link in point 5. Then there are: Gingerman in Michigan and Blackhawk Farms Raceway Check their websites for track day info
