If you think it's for you, here's what you do.

Obtaining a racing licence CAMS now issue rolling Licences so Licences are valid for 12 months from the date of issue. The following steps need to be carried out in order to get your racing licence:
Become a member of a CAMS affiliated club. In WA the West Australian Sporting Car Club is the one. You must be a member of the Formula Vee State Association to race Vees.
Contact your CAMS state office (contact numbers can be found at www.cams.com.au). Fill in the application form for a general competition licence and pay the appropriate fees.
Have a full medical from a CAMS preferred doctor.
Attend a CAMS lecture (now also available on line). There is no charge for this. You can attend without paying any fees. If you have already paid for your licence you will get it endorsed after the lecture. A record is kept of all those who attend the lectures, so your licence can be endorsed any time after the lecture.
There are two ways of completing your licence; either attend a CAMS Driver Evaluation Day in your state, or in some states you can attend an advanced skill drive day at a private driving school. Contact CAMS or your state secretary for more information.

At least two weeks before your final evaluation, you should contact your state secretary who will assign a regular Formula Vee driver to you, who will make sure your car is set up properly and that you are properly organised for the evaluation day. Many people miss their licence on the first try because they are badly prepared.
