Criteria for Achieving Grade 1 License
To qualify for a Grade 1 license, certain standards must be met. Firstly, the total length of the tracks must be a minimum of 3.5 km. Additionally, no straight sections can exceed 2 km, and the overall length of the circuit must not surpass 7 km. If the course length is excessive, it can lead to longer lap times, thereby increasing safety risks.
