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 individual drivers spend about100000 a 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.
If you want to take part in 1 class racing ... F3 F2, if you want to take F 1, you have to go through a lap within the specified time. No one in China has reached this level >
Level: novice
June 2005 1 hehe, this must be very difficult. You have to pass the general go-kart race in China and get good grades, and then go abroad to participate in Renault Formula. Finally, I can get the FIA driver's license. The FIA is divided into three levels, namely; The lowest F3 is followed by the more advanced F3000. If you pass the first two levels, you can open F 1.
At present, there are very few people in the world who open F 1, no more than 50 people. As far as I know, that driver's license seems to be issued by the FIA, not an exam. In a word, you can get it in three ways.
1, if you have won the championship in karting since childhood, then won the championship in Renault Formula or King Formula, and then successfully rose to Formula 3 or Formula 3000, then the door of Formula 1 is not far away.
2. In view of the fact that the first item is obviously inconsistent with reality, if you have children aged 6 or 7, then if you are "19 years old" like me, I suggest you learn from takuma sato. When 19 years old, takuma sato was a test driver for Honda, and was found and recommended to drive a Formula One car. If you are interested, you may wish to ask whether Honda or Dongfeng Hongqi in China have the demand for test drivers.
If you are unlucky to be 20 or 30 years old, you can only learn from Kasikyan and take advantage of the all-round popularization of motor racing in the motherland. Or do you have any blood or economic relationship with those big sponsors? Your driving skills are so good that you have nothing to say, so it is natural for them to recommend you to the car industry!
The first step to becoming a racing driver is to get a racing driver's license. At present, there are a few driving schools in China that are qualified to train drivers licensed by the International Automobile Sports Federation and authorized by the China Automobile Sports Federation, such as the China Automobile Sports Federation Training Center, Beijing Haidian Driving School and Feng Bao Racing Club. At present, due to the needs of development, racing clubs in some provinces and cities can also obtain the qualification to issue driver's licenses through certification. Most of the teaching racing cars in China are Japanese Mitsubishi, French logo 106, domestic Jetta King, Fukang and so on. , but they are all standard cars modified according to the requirements of the International Automobile Sports Federation. As long as they have a driver's license issued by the domestic transportation authorities, they are in good health and have no major diseases. At present, the tuition price of all kinds of racing training courses focusing on automobile rally in China is about 3000 ~ 5000 yuan, and the semester lasts for 3 days. Mainly study the basic knowledge of racing car, the basic safety modification of racing car, and the basic operation methods of driving racing car, such as braking, cornering, steering, etc., mainly based on gravel roads. The coaches demonstrated one by one and personally led the students to drive on the professional track to help them master the basic essentials of racing as quickly as possible. During the three-day training, the elementary class basically only trains 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. 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 colleges will damage a part of the car when driving, and these maintenance fees are very expensive.
The domestic racing training mainly includes rally and track race. Among them, the organization of training rally is scattered, and the track events are mainly concentrated in Zhuhai International Circuit, with Kangbas racing as the main event. Training costs vary, and the primary rally training is generally 3000 ~ 5000 yuan/period (three days, excluding accommodation and transportation costs). Combas in Zhuhai is of high value, so the training cost is also high. The first two-day primary training course costs 35,500 yuan (including accommodation and 20,000 yuan deposit), that is, if the car is not damaged during the training, the final cost is15,500 yuan.
At present, there are less than 1000 people who have participated in the training of racing drivers in China, let alone those who actually participated. The main reason is that the racing car is too expensive, not to mention the super-luxury formula F 1 racing car. I once saw a racing car, and the modification cost was about 1 10,000 RMB. All the modification work was done in Germany, and there were thousands of new solder joints alone. In addition, the logistics maintenance service during the competition, the expenses of competition activities and the repair expenses of damaged cars are not only based on personal interests. Upon graduation, each student must drive the car himself and pass the exam in a professional rally venue. Those who pass the exam can get a driver's license authorized by the International Automobile Sports Federation and issued by the China Automobile Sports Federation. This license plate level is E, and the highest level that can be obtained in China is C, but the holders of E license plate can also participate in various events of domestic automobile rally.
In addition, there are intermediate classes and pilot training classes. The teaching of the intermediate class is taught by the hired foreign coach, but the learner must hold the certificate of completion of the primary class (that is, the E-class racing driver license). The driver training class is specially designed for drivers who act as guides in car rally. 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, you have to modify it to meet the prescribed standards before you can participate in the competition. Of course, there are also professional racing cars. You can try those you can afford. It costs nearly one million yuan to convert an ordinary car into a racing car suitable for the road race stage. It is conceivable that the price will be high only if you buy a regular racing car directly.
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 car that can participate in international competitions, that is, the model officially registered in the International Automobile Sports Federation, is FAW-Volkswagen Jetta King. As a means of transportation, whether it is transportation, commercial operation or automobile rally, its safety performance is the first to bear the brunt. What I mentioned in the article is 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.
Example (burning money, burning money for 5 million in 8 years):
When the names of Schumacher and Alonso were talked about by fans, no one in China had got a super driver's license (F 1 qualification certificate). There is a Zhuhai teenager who wants to be the first person in China.
The boy's name is Ling Cong, and he is a member of Zhuhai Meng Tong Team. At the National Karting Championship which ended in June 1 65438+1October1,he won the NCJ-B championship with five races (***6), which was also the first annual champion of the young man.
His father, Ling Jian, was the founder of Meng Tong Team, and he pinned his racing dreams on his son. However, the cost of the competition is high, and it is difficult for the couple to open a company to play with their son.
My son can't reach the accelerator at the age of five.
Compared with his peers, Ling Cong, who is currently studying in Zhuhai Yung Wing School, is a little shy, but looks very mature. Father Ling Jian said that it was all influenced by the racing car. "Racing can cultivate the driver's self-confidence and sense of independence. In addition, they often go out to compete and see more of the world than other children. "
Ling Cong became attached to go-karting when he was about 5 years old. Ling Jian recalled that he took his son to a friend's go-kart yard. "He liked it before he got on the bus." The little guy played like a bee and refused to leave. From then on, Ling Jian often took him to go karting.
A 5-year-old child, whose height is less than 1 m, is sitting in the driver's seat, and his feet can't reach the brake and accelerator. Ling Cong recalled the scene of learning racing at that time and made a gesture with a smile. "What should I do? When accelerating, I turn left and step on the accelerator with both feet; When you want to slow down, turn right quickly. In this way, your hand keeps holding the steering wheel and your body keeps swinging from side to side. Now I still have this bad habit. "
My father has been obsessed with the sound of racing cars in Macau since he was a child.
Ling Jian, a 38-year-old Zhuhai native, has felt the fresh breath from Macau since childhood, and horse racing is one of them. Cars were rare at that time, let alone racing cars. Ling Jian and his companions go to Gongbei every year to listen to the "whoops" coming from the Macau Green Grand Prix. "This thing must be very exciting." Young hearts are looking forward to it.
When I was in middle school, some relatives and friends brought magazines from Hong Kong. Ling Jian chose automobile magazines and began to understand cars gradually. After graduating from high school, he worked hard to earn money and wanted to buy a motorcycle and get hooked on racing. 1993 He finally got his wish and took part in the second racing street race in Zhuhai the next year. I am confident that my driving skills are very good, but after competing with many professional drivers on the same stage, Ling Caijian deeply feels that there is a sky outside. Later, he was recommended by a vice president of Zhuhai Circuit Company (in preparation) and went to Beijing to become the first batch of students of China Racing School. After graduation, he began to engage in motor racing in the newly-built Zhuhai Circuit.
In the racing circle 10 years, Ling Jian became more and more obsessed. He once drove a modified racing car to participate in amateur competitions and won two championships. However, Ling Jian had no choice but to start late. He started racing at the age of 24 and failed to become a professional racing driver. Naturally, he pinned his hopes on his son. Seeing that his son likes to play with cars, Ling Jian also relaxed a little and made up his mind to train his son to be a professional racing driver.
Contradictory and worried mother dismissed.
After his father's training, Ling Cong made rapid progress. According to Ling's mother, in the second year of learning to drive, Ling Cong ran with the team of the city's go-karting amateur competition. Most of the participants are adults. Ling Cong, who is only over 6 years old, "runs on other people's ass", but he can catch up with some drivers in the third year. "Later, those people were no match for him." Ling Jian said that the father and son had played in the same venue. "At that time, he couldn't beat me. Now I dare not compete with him."
Ling Jian is glad that his son has a talent for racing. However, contrary to his father's inflated enthusiasm, the mother opposed her son to learn racing on the grounds that this high-speed sport was too dangerous. She witnessed the tragic death of her husband's teammate due to racing, and also experienced the pain of her husband's racing injury. She didn't want her children to repeat this danger.
However, the son's love, coupled with the father's insistence, the mother's opposition failed. At the age of 9, Ling Cong got a go-kart driver's license, and two years later, he began to participate in the national go-kart championship on behalf of Zhuhai QIX racing team. In 2007, the QIX team was renamed as Meng Tong team, and the dream of father and son officially set sail. That year, Ling Cong won the overall runner-up of the all-around kart driver, and the championship was won by teammate Li Jingtao. In Ling Jian's eyes, his son is a competitive player with strong explosive power, but his state fluctuates. After training, he can gradually complement each other.
The goal is to become the first F/KLOC-0 driver in China.
The classification of racing cars includes Formula, RV and motorcycle, and the levels of various racing events are also different. Go-karting is the starting point of all racing cars. Ling Cong introduced that in the equation system, from basic equations such as Combas, Renault 2000, Volkswagen and BMW, to the third-order equation (F3), to GP2, and finally to the first-order equation (F 1). From the most basic go-kart race to the ultimate F 1, the number of participants is pyramid-shaped. At present, there are more than 100 athletes at the top of the tower (that is, they have obtained a super driver's license and are eligible to participate in F 1). So far, no one in China has got a super driver's license.
Ling Jian said that there are more than 30 sons who can participate in the go-kart championship. "If China wants to be the driver of F 1, it is among them."
Want to be the driver of F 1? Ling Cong said that that is the ultimate goal of every driver, and he is no exception. "I also hope to achieve (China) zero breakthrough." But he also said that this goal is difficult to achieve. "Maybe it's more practical to be a professional driver and run to F3 or GP2." Father Ling Jian said with a smile: "His goals and confidence are bigger than mine. He is less stressed than me, just playing games, I need to make money to pave the way for him. "
Poor "I just want to make money"
"At present, there are more than 1 000 people who play racing in China (Chinese mainland), but in Japan, there are more than 1 000 children who play karting alone, and there are more in Europe and America." Ling Jian said that the foreign level is much higher, and his son is the domestic all-around champion, but he came last in the Japanese Open. He analyzed the gap. One of the reasons is the high cost of racing, which many families can't afford. More importantly, racing is not valued in China. "Racing is not an Olympic event, so it is difficult to get government funding and the market is narrow, so it is difficult to get corporate sponsorship." Ling Jian said that foreign drivers have always been sponsored by enterprises, and parents hardly need to spend money. At present, children who play with cars in China generally need their families to have considerable economic ability.
Ling Jian calculated an account for the reporter. Take Ling Cong as an example. Every time he participates in a competition, he only needs to pay 50,000 to 60,000 yuan for technicians, registration fees and round-trip air tickets, and the cost of going abroad is higher. There are six national championships throughout the year, plus the Philippine, Singapore and Japan Open. , that is, *** 10 or so. This 600 thousand is not counting the wear and tear of the racing engine and tires. "Last year, I spent the most, and I also participated in the Asia-Pacific Championship, spending more than 1.7 million." Since playing with cars, Ling Cong has spent more than 5 million yuan. Although both of them have their own companies, they are still short of money.
"With money, he can continue to play." Ling Jian said that next year, his son can participate in basic formula competitions such as Combas, which is more expensive than go-karting, and the cost will be higher in the future. He is joking, and now all he can think about is making money. "If he doesn't burn money, he can only reduce the race, which is very unfavorable for the growth of young drivers who have just started. But there is no way, how far can you go? "
