How to start race?

[Niels]

So I open my map and set a waypoint to a race.
I'm here but nothing happens, well not exactly.
On bottom of my screen I see the name of the race: Bayou figure 8
On bottom right I see that it's 2.9KM and 3laps
I see my personal record - -:--.-- at this moment and a track record.
That's it. I pressed all sorts of keys and nothing happens.

Or is the only way to start a race to be there with a car of the right class?

nevermind, as the last thing I said in my first post, you have to be in a car of the right class to start the race.
