Driver Licensing

Corinthian Vintage Auto Racing Corporation (CVAR) requires that all competitors be qualified, trained, and licensed, or be enrolled in the CVAR driver training program, to participate in vintage or historic multi-vehicle competition/racing events.

Required Qualifications and Training

Have you been away from racing a year or more? Review the Information for Returning Drivers.

Any CVAR member in good standing that is over the age of 16 years may make apply for a CVAR Vintage Racer License. To be considered in good standing you must have a current calendar year CVAR Competition, Corporate Sponsor, or Lifetime membership.

To apply for a new CVAR Vintage Racer License, all drivers must have completed a vintage competition driving school, regardless of prior experience. Drivers coming from other forms of racing are required to complete a vintage driving school to assist with the transition to the “vintage attitude” of racing.  See the school page for more information.

Licensing

CVAR issues a National Competition License. As a member of the Vintage Motorsports Council (VMC), all VMC clubs recognize the CVAR Vintage Racer License as a National Competition License. 

The CVAR Vintage Racer License application and medical forms provide evidence of qualifications upon which CVAR will issue a Vintage Racer License. 

The expiration date of a CVAR Vintage Racer License is based on the date of the doctor’s signature on the medical form, the driver’s age, and the fee paid. 

To keep your CVAR Vintage Racer License active, you must have a current CVAR membership in good standing each calendar year until the license expires.

Members may purchase a license of any available duration within their eligible age range (e.g., a 25-year-old may choose a 3-year, 2-year, or 1-year license). For members age 65 and older, the license expiration will be 13 months to allow for completing annual physicals under most insurance policy guidelines.

Ages 18–35: $135 for 3 years
Ages 36-64: $100 for 2 years
Ages 65+: $50 for 1 year
