Definitions for "Homologation"
Confirmation or ratification (as of something otherwise null and void), by a court or a grantor.

A car is thereafter deemed homologated and can be used in racing. There are modifications that do not need a new homologation, but in case of more extensive modifications, manufacturers create a new evolution of the car and homologate it.
