■ *What is Autotest*
It is a traditional motor sport that originated in England, and it is a sport that competes not for finishing order or running time, but for “accuracy of driving”. The key point is not only the performance of the car, but also the accuracy and politeness of driving operations. Penalties will be added if you hit a pylon or take the wrong course. To participate, you do not need a JAF motorsports license or special equipment such as a helmet or gloves; you can just come to the event with your daily car and clothes suitable for driving.
