Car Racing
Automobile racing, sport in which specially designed or modified automobiles race on any of various courses. Automobile racing originated in France in 1894 and appeared in the United States the following year.
It is now one of the most popular spectator sports in the world. Of many different types of competition, the most prestigious involve Formula One (Grand Prix) or “Indy-type” automobiles, both cars with low-slung bodies capable of speeds greater than 230 mph (370 kph). Their design and maintenance require full-time racing teams and large corporate investment.
