Racing Cars And Their History

Rallying also differs from other racing series because teams have to tackle timed sections where the passenger acts as a co-driver, giving the driver directions on a section. These directions are called “pace notes” and they’re a shortened code that the co-driver reads aloud to the driver so they know what’s coming up. Professional and gentleman racers can take advantage of “one-make” series where automakers have a range of vehicles that meet the necessary requirements straight from the factory. Unfortunately, a lot of these automaker-backed series are reserved for exotic car brands. A few of the more well-known series include Lamborghini Super Trofeo, Ferrari Challenge, and Porsche Supercup.

The European races eventually became the closely related Le Mans Series, both of which mix prototypes and GTs. Aspendale Racecourse, in Australia, was the world's first purpose-built motor racing circuit, opening in January 1906. The pear shaped track was close to a mile in length, with slightly banked curves and a gravel surface of crushed cement. The 959 was designed around Group B race and rally regs, so when that series was killed it made sense for Porsche to do something else with its hi-tech test car. Group B. Words to tremble the bobble on any rally fan’s hat.

Touring Car

Single-seater racing is not limited merely to professional teams and drivers. In the UK, the major club series are the Monoposto Racing Club, BRSCC F3 , Formula Vee and Club Formula Ford. Each series caters for a section of the market, with some primarily providing low-cost racing, while others aim for an authentic experience using the same regulations as the professional series .

Indy Car Racing

The goal of the online game is to complete the entire route without flying off the road. Outrun your rivals and be the first to reach the finish line! Points are earned for agility, accuracy, and an irresistible desire to win. Practice sessions are pretty normal stuff, but qualifying is where things get interesting.

Subaru Impreza Time Attack

The most cutting edge technology is the FXX-K Evo itself, powered by an exceptional V12, equipped with Hy-Kers, capable of unleashing over 1050 hp. At six o'clock I felt once more the welcome motion of a Railroad car, and at eight was in Venice. Two Battalions racing due North along the coast and foothills with levelled bayonets.

The SCCA’s classes are slightly different, as the organization has two prototypes and one GT class for amateur racers. The P1 and P2 prototype classes allow for a wide range of vehicle designs, while the GT class includes modified “silhouette” replicas of series-produced sports cars. Automobile Club de L’Ouest and the International Motor Sports Association are a few of the sanctioned organizations that regulate sports car racing.

FIA is responsible for World Racing Events that were and are taking place in all over the world. Some kinds of racing championships are run in open roads, in conditions such as gravel, tarmac or snow, such as Rally Championship or Sports cars Championship or Touring cars Championship. Since '70s Sports cars and Touring cars championships were no longer run in open roads due to safety reasons. All other events are taking place in closed circuits with much higher safety, but with higher speeds. While there are several professional teams and drivers in historical racing, this branch of auto sport tends to be contested by wealthy car owners and is thus more amateur and less competitive in its approach.

Chase Racing Cars

All vehicles are equipped with a hybrid powertrain consisting of a 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engine and a battery-powered electric motor. When used in tandem, these systems allow a modern F1 to crank out around 1,000 horsepower. Formula 1 is the most storied and prestigious automotive racing series in the world. It’s come a long way since its first race way back in 1950, and a modern F1 car is one of the most technologically advanced automobiles on the planet. There are several categories of Racing Cars, with open or covered wheels, that can participate to an "open road" or "closed circuit" motor racing championship.
