The Yamaguchi Branch of the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF), led by Branch Manager Hirohiko Sato, is supporting the 'Auto Test at Iwakuni Driving School,' to be held on Sunday, May 31st, by the JAF-affiliated 'Car Club Nishiki.'

Auto Test aims to provide motorsport fun to a wide range of automobile users while also connecting the competition to daily safe driving by testing precision.

By completing the Auto Test, participants can apply for a 'Domestic B License,' which allows them to participate and compete in JAF-sanctioned rallies and speed events. A booth for Domestic B License applications will be set up at the venue on the day to support the development of motorsports.

[What is Auto Test?]

A traditional form of motorsport originating in the UK, introduced to Japan in 2015.

Compared to other JAF-sanctioned motorsports, the rules regulate driving speeds to keep them low. As a result, those holding a standard driver's license can participate using their usual personal car without needing a competition license, helmet, gloves, or other specialized gear. It is a sport that competes not just on speed, but on 'driving precision,' and it is expected to contribute to daily safe driving.
