FORMULA 1 Grand Prix Racing

Formula 1 Grand Prix - Before the words Grand Prix were even invented, cars raced in Europe on public roads in the 1890's from one town to another and then further a field. Sometimes they would drive for days at 11mph to get to the finish line not just for hours at over 200mph.

1895 Andre Michelin raced a car with the first "air tyre" and they thought he was crazy. Seems I have heard that name in tyre manufacturing all over the world. In these days tycoons raced cars for pleasure and prowess. In the early history of racing, names like Ferrari, Maserati and Alpha Romeo and drivers like Fangio, Farina, Moss and Parnell were famous and revered.

In 1946 the Federation Internationale de l' Automobile (FIA) was formed and introduced rules and regulations for racing.

In 1950 the FIA linked racing of each country to make a World Championship of 7 races and the Indianapolis 500 was one of them.
The first official Grand Prix race was held at Silverstone, with the results being Farina first, second Fangio and Parnell third.

To go thru the whole history would be over whelming long to read but it is enough to say the there has been winners of Grand Prix's for all four corners of the world and it has grown to be the most famous and prestigious racing formula in the world.
From the 1950's when the cars had no protection for the drivers and looked more like a bullet on wheels to the 21st century where every aspect of the car and the driver is paramount. Formula One like most other motor sport is now about being the best in Aerodynamics, Speed and Driver safety.

With 17 events each year from Europe, UK, Middle East, Asia, North America and Australia there is sure to be an event to quench your need for speed in the Formula 1 Grand Prix world.

Formula One is the most costly motor sport in the world with the high profile teams, sponsors and drivers with the main cost being the cars themselves.

The screaming of the F1 engines down the straights, the exciting bumper-to-bumper racing through the tight corners. Formula 1 Grand Prix fans with their faces painted to support their favourite team, like Ferrari - Mc Laren, and the drivers' country, make the atmosphere incredibly electric. Australians have made it in the Formula 1 Grand Prix field and for many more years to come with Mark Webber. Formula 1 Grand Prix drivers are famous for their competitive nature, speed and agility on the F1 track.

Experience for yourself the Formula 1 Grand Prix cars flying past at amazing speeds, the thrills and spills at a Formula 1 Grand Prix event and you will never forget. Get up close to your favourite Formula 1 Grand Prix driver; get an autograph and/or a photo to remember.
