    Brief

    chronic the beginnings of motor racing.

    To find the first motor car racing, it is clear that the first car powered by an internal combustion engine is attributed to Siegfried Marcus in 1875; although in 1770 Joseph Cugnot created a steam engine car. Then Karl Benz, in late 1885 (although it was actually a motor tricycle) popularized and promoted the development of the automobile. In 1891, Levassor, in collaboration with Panhard, created a car engine developed by Gottlieb Daimler Otto and August, with many components of what we know now, was a V2 (two cylinders in V).

    The rapid development of the cars during the last decade of the nineteenth century literally forced into play which of these cars was faster, or simply the desire of humankind to know who was the best. In France the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a car race, which would be the prelude to the sports empire that would make this day.


    The July 22, 1894 21 men were placed in the output of the first car race in history (following a call from the newspaper Le Petit Journal). The cars, not pulled by horses, safe, maneuverable and economic as required by the regulations. The challenge, to cover the 126 kilometers between the French capital Paris, Rouen. 10 of the 17 cars that led the trial that lasted more than 6 hours were powered by gasoline, but the winner was a steam engine: The Marquis De Dion and Georges Bouton mechanical signed their names as the first winners, with an average speed of about 19 km / h, even after they were disqualified for unexplained reasons.


    This takes nothing away from the new competition, by contrast, was the center of the comments from the public. The success of the race forced organizers to repeat the course the following year.
    In 1895 he runs the Paris-Bordeaux-Paris, having won by Emile Levassor after traveling 1178 miles, but was again disqualified the same way as the first winner.

    run in Italy's Turin-Asti-Torino, the first run in those lands, which he won by a Daimler. During these years he became popular races that linked cities, with the main motor sport in France. Paradoxically Levassor in 1896 lost their lives in the Paris-Marseille-Paris, which was won by his collaborator Panhard.


    In December 1898, records the first official time a car made by: Chaseloup-Laubat in electric propulsion Jeantaud slightly over 100 km / h in a speed test to skiing. In 1899 Camille Jenatzy in electric too Jamais Contente bat for the first time in history a record speed record at 105.84 km / h.

    In 1900, he performed in France (Lyon) the first International Championship of Motorsports, called Gordon Bennett Cup, which took 5 riders from four different countries. The first winner was a French Panhard. This tournament lasted until 1906, where they begin to dispute the races known as Grand Prix where he appeared as well-known brands Renault, Fiat and Mercedes-Benz. The powers begin to professionalize and manufacturers are already racing in a publicity stunt.


    On 27 June 1906 ran the first Grand Prix was held from Le Mans, La Ferte-Bernard and Saint Calais. The cars in two days had to go 12 rounds 1238 km giving a triangular course of 104 km. The Hungarian Ferenc Szisz, on board a Renault was the winner with a time of 12 hours and 15 minutes sacándoles at least 32 minutes ahead of the 17 drivers (of 32) who completed the race. The domain of the Hungarian was such that after the third round and led the race.


    By 1907 the progress of the racing was unstoppable. The advantages advertising to win a race was impressive. Soon rallies also be made short, medium and long range.
    The first rally-raid was in 1906: Paris-Beijing and the winner was Prince Scipio Borghese with the Italian journalist Luigi Barzini after more than two months of competition. England could not be left behind, and in 1907 at Brooklands is built the first road course of history (an oval track banked corners).


    The 12 February 1908 began the first intercontinental auto race (New York-Paris). Involving six cars The winner was American Thomas Flyer, which arrived in Paris on July 30, 1908, after traveling 21,470 miles in 169 days.
    America subsequently become auto power shortly afterwards, when in 1909 he built the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway (of 4023 meters long), disputing the first version of the 500 in 1911 giving the winner a Harrou Ray Marmon Wasp 6 cylinder to an average of 120 km / h.


    Over the years the powers grew, the present refinement, the pilots were becoming more professional. In the years of pre-war emerged legendary men, the legendary race and the whole atmosphere that would lead to the current powers. But we must always bear in mind the beginning, the desire of man to compete with an element made by himself: the automobile.
