"JMRC"

JAF-registered clubs and organizations, numbering approximately 1,200 nationwide, form regional organizations on a voluntary basis to facilitate smooth inter-club communication and promote the harmonious development of regional motorsports. They operate by establishing "JAF-Registered Club Regional Councils (JMRC)" in each region across the country.

"Autotest"

This is a motorsports competition that can be easily participated in with one's own car, requiring no competition license, helmet, or gloves. (A regular driver's license is required.) It is a competition that measures not only "driving time" but also "driving accuracy."

Completing the competition run qualifies participants to apply for a "National B License," which serves as an entry point to professional motorsports competitions. (Separate application fee required.)

On the day of the event, we will implement the "Considerate Drive Declaration" to raise drivers' awareness of traffic safety. Those who agree will receive an original sticker as a gift!

For motorsport license holders, we will promote registration for the "Motorsport My Page (MS My Page)" and the "JAF Smartphone App," which are convenient for license renewals.
