To race (license)
There are two types of kart race licenses, the "JAF license" and the "SL license" issued by JAF (Japan Automobile Federation).
The reason why these licenses are required is that many circuits are qualified to have either a JAF license (license validity period of 1 year) or SL license (license validity period of 3 years).
Of course, one of the licenses is required to participate in the race.
Those who joined our team and attended the racing kart school are recommended
You can get more.
License
Let's take
Obtained a license
To obtain a license, take lectures and practical skills.
In the course designated by JAF * Students will learn classroom lectures and practical skills (it will take one day).
The dates are fixed depending on the course, so please look for a course near you.
* Those who have attended the Super Chips Racing School are exempt from lectures and practical skills.
* License recommendation fee will be charged.
The JAF license is for those who aim to step up in the future (essential for domestic races, SL license is also possible depending on the race), while the SL license is for those who ride karts as a hobby, national circuit license, SL race can also participate.
To participate in the race, juniors under the age of 10 cannot obtain a license, so a parental license is required. As a general rule, parents under the age of 18 also need a license.

(1) Refer to the cart license training schedule of JAF Motor Sports magazine or JAF homepage, or contact the nearest JAF regional headquarters to find the desired cart driver license training, and contact the organizer to attend. .. Check with the organizer in advance what you need to bring and what you need to pay.

(3) The first half of the curriculum of the course will explain the rules, practice cart driving including rules and manners, and explain the flag signals.
A written test will be held after the lecture, but if you listen to the lecturer's explanations, you will be able to answer without any problems. In addition, practical driving will be carried out in the second half. Learn to drive according to flags and manners.
The cart driver license class usually uses the cart on the circuit, so you don't need to have a cart. Helmets are basically available on the circuit, but if you have your own, it's a good idea to bring something that suits you.
All you need is long sleeves, long pants, athletic shoes and gloves. In any case, just in case, contact the organizer of the workshop to confirm.
