this doesnt help you, but what's a cams license...like is it so you can race anywhere, or particular vehicles?

yeah there are allot of regulations in motorsport, your best bet would be to contact the Confederation of Australian Motorsort (cams).

Have you had a read over at the CAMS site at all?

You can get a racing licence from 2 sources, one is CAMS as listed above, the othere is AASA, see:
AASA

The only difference is that AASA will accept a CAMS Licence at AASA sanctioned events, but CAMS will not accept a AASA Licence at their event, go figure?

heeno,

Deffinatly get a CAMS licence mate. Its recognised at all events all over Australia.

It depends what category you are going to race in to what cams licence you need to get, and what criteria have to be met to get it.

The cams site has all the info you need. (As previously stated).

CAMS licence:

The speed events (motorkhana and sprints) just require you to pay money. I’ve got a CAMS L2S licence for those events.

AASA seem to be less bureaucratic and expensive than CAMS. But that is an argument that could go on for ages……

I know you mean "less bureaucratic and LESS expensive than CAMS" but it didn't quite read like that, hope the clarification is OK.
