Pro-Racing helps you on your way
When you start as a beginner in motorsport, a lot comes your way; obtaining the racing license, purchasing or building a suitable vehicle, and not to forget, acquiring the necessary racing outfit. With the latter, you may come across many terms and phrases that mean nothing to you (yet). Additionally, various versions of all products are available.
To help you get started with what you need and give you an insight into the differences between the products, we have compiled a short guide. In this guide, we assume the current rules of the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile, or FIA. Unfortunately, there are also exceptions to many rules in motorsport, but you can often easily find this in the regulations of the event or championship you wish to participate in. Unfortunately, we cannot take these exceptions into account in this guide.

Note! This guide takes into account the basic regulations as determined by the FIA.
Always check the regulations of the organization/event you wish to participate in for any deviations.
