Abcs Of Dirt Track Racing Sprint Cars

By Patty Goff


In the United States, the first edition of the Indianapolis 500 was held in 1911, the same year the Rally Monte-Carlo was started. The 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race took place for the first time in 1923, the first Grand Prix of Monaco was held in 1929. Motorsport is a sub-category and a generic name for sports where the participants compete with cars. Unlike dirt track racing sprint cars from town to town, all traffic is prohibited on the road sector. To work around some villages, the organizers set up wood deviations.

Motorsport is in turn divided into several branches, where racing and rallying are the main. Following the numerous accidents that marked the Paris-Madrid race in 1903, the ACF and the civil authorities require the holding of such events on circuits only. Le Mans applied for membership, this city that saw the birth of the initial car sold (Amedee Bollee) receives the first Grand Prix (then Grand Prix ACF) in 1906 on a circuit of 103.16 km.

The land on which the race is performed, and in some cases the people involved (age, level, weight, sex). The trials were closer to parade as the actual race between Neuilly-sur-Seine and Versailles (since 1887) or hiking like the one organized by the Parisian newspaper Le Petit Journal in Paris and Rouen in 1894.

They have 102 registered drivers and only 32 make it. The following year, the pioneering racing event was organized: it's Paris-Bordeaux-Paris. Emile Levassor ended the first test on June 15 on a Panhard in 48 hours and 48 minutes. But there was no competition because his car was a two-seater while the regulations required a minimum of four seats with as many passengers than seats. It was a Peugeot driven by Paul Koechlin who won in 59 hours 48 minutes.

In October 1896, Paris-Marseille-Paris was on the agenda, as the city stands out as the classic epicenter of racing. The Emile Levassor accident in this race questioned this principle. From September 7, 1896, however, a first car circuit race was held in the United States (Rhode Island State Fair).

In 1900, James Gordon Bennett Jr., major provider of various sports trophies, founded a challenge for auto racing: car Coupe Gordon Bennett. The settlement of this challenge was founded in 1895, it provides the international character of this event. Thus, the challenge provides that the trial will take place in the country of previous year winner.

This type of competition is run with different types of vehicles; rally, rallycross- and racing cars, etc., and the driver is alone in his vehicle. Very spectacular is back racing for trucks. Hillclimb with trucks was organized in the late eighties up the mountain in many countries. Some races compete with the help of a map and participants drive through unknown road at a given time.

An event can consist of orientation distances. A stretch can be anywhere from a few minutes to upwards of an hour, and the race can last from a total of one hour at debutant contest, to as long as a couple of hours at major competitions. A really great arrangement could go on all evening and night. Before the contest is Layout secret for the contestants.
