Formula One racing as it is today evolved from EU Grand Prix racing of the early 1900s. Though it is still considered an european sport, more of each season’s World Championship events are held at locations outside of Europe than in Europe itself. The top Formula One racing teams do have EU home bases.

Formula One racing is the most controlled in all of vehicle racing. Restrictions are placed on every component of the cars. Constructors must be leading edge to build a vehicle that will out-perform the other Formula One racing cars and yet meet all the FIA ( international vehicle Federation ) tenets.

Each race is held at a different location. Some locations have traditionally always been part of Formula One racing. Monte Carlo is the ideal example. The Monaco Grand Prix held at Monte Carlo has become associated with Formula One racing because it is always part of the series. Originally Formula One racing Grand Prix were held on closed public streets and the Monaco Grand Prix continues to follow this practice. More recent venues around the globe, like the one at Bahrain, are held on tracks that’ve been designed specifically to meet the needs of Formula One racing. Groups must transport their cars, hardware and spare parts to each race.

The World Championship season in Formula One racing lasts from early spring through fall each year. Races are three-day events with qualifying and testing run on Fri. and saturday. Qualification runs are timed sessions. Starting position is founded upon performance during these qualification sessions.

A race day in Formula One racing is a loud, fast-paced, high-energy time for drivers, groups and spectators. The race is composed of multiple laps around the circuit. This is true whether the race is held on public streets or on a racetrack. A special area alongside of the track is designated as the pit area. The pits are where teams perform work on their cars. Each vehicle will need fuel added and tires replaced during the race. Further parts will also have to be repaired or replaced. Pit crews are quite well known for their speed.

Formula One racing marshals use flags to speak to drivers during a race. In addition to the flags, a GPS system in each automobile indicates any current flag waving for the section of track the auto is on at the time.

Formula One racing awards a World Championship title on one driver and one team each season. At the end of each race the top drivers are awarded points based on their final ranking. Teams earn points for every one of the two automobiles they have entered in the race. At the end of the season the driver and team with the most points are announced World champions.
