What is Formula 1?

motor racing and formula one
cool_dude asked:


I know that there is F1 racing.

I was looking at a Honda NSX on car sales website and One seller has mentioned that it’s a formula 1 car.
Furthermore I know that Ferrari F50 is a street legal Formula 1 car.

But what is this? I assume that it’s about the motor.

    The “Formula” part refers to the set of rules that all cars in a competition must adhere to.

    “Grand Prix Formula 1″ racing refers to the highest class of racing in the FIA, i.e. motor sport’s world governing body.

    The British Stock Car Association is also referred to as “BriSCA Formula One”. They govern a competition involving modified saloon cars, as opposed to race cars.

    One is British and involves stock cars, the other is international and involves racing cars.

    Formula One’, abbreviated to F1, and also known as Grand Prix racing, is the highest class of auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), motor sport’s world governing body.

    The “formula” in the name is a set of rules which all participants and cars must meet. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual World Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors.

    It is a massive television event, with millions of people watching each race in 200 countries. The cars race at high speeds, often greater than 320 km/h (200 mph) and are capable of pulling up to 6 g in some corners. The performance of the cars is highly dependent on electronics, aerodynamics, suspension and tyres. The formula has seen many evolutions and changes through the history of the sport.

    F1 ROCKS!!!!!!!!
