	Formula One
		Formula One, or Grand Prix racing is the best known single-seater auto racing class, which involves an annual world championship.
		In 1950, a world championship Formula One was established for drivers.
		The sport is lesser-known in the United States than either their mostly-domestic open-wheeler racing series (at the moment there are two major ones, IRL and CART) or NASCAR, but in terms of budgets and global TV audiences F1 is bigger than all three.

	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Formula One
		Formula One, abbreviated to F1 and also known as Grand Prix racing, is a form of formula racing and the highest class of single-seat open-wheel auto racing.
		Non-championship Formula One races were held for many years, but due to rising costs and sinking interest, the last of these ended in the early 1980s.
		Formula One teams must build the chassis in which they compete, and consequently the terms "team" and "constructor" are interchangeable; this requirement distinguishes the sport from "spec series" such as IRL and NASCAR.

		Additional non-championship Formula One races were held around the world, but ended in the early 1980's.
		Regulations have changed greatly as car technologies have improved, with the appearance of rear-engined cars in the late 1950s, the introduction of wings in the late 1960s, then ground effect aerodynamics in the late 1970s by Lotus, followed by the 1980s era of turbocharged engines developing upwards of 1000 horsepower.
		According to Ecclestone, the move is to increase Formula One's global reach, though the steady tightening of restrictions on tobacco advertising in Europe and elsewhere may also be a factor.

		Michele progressed up the ladder to make his Formula Three debut in the final race of 1979, was runner-up to his Pavanello Racing team-mate Piercarlo Ghinzani in the Italian series, and the followed this up by winning the European crown in 1980.
		Formula Two and Minardi beckoned for 1981, but Michele so impressed Tyrell with a one-off drive at the San Marino Grand Prix that theygave him a contract until the end of the 1983 season.
		Formula Three proved an even harder nut to crack, for although he finished third overall at his first attempt, it took four full years before he moved on to Formula Two for 1983, with an ORECA-run Martini.

	The Syracuse Grand Prix - 1955
		In October 1955, with nearly ten years of motor racing completed since the war, enthusiasts in this country were beginning to wonder whether a British racing car would ever win a major event.
		It was a Friday afternoon and the first practice session for the 1955 Syracuse Grand Prix was well under way, but there was no sign of the transporters that had left England for Sicily a week earlier with two Connaught racing cars - one for Brooks and the other for Les Leston.
		Brooks knew only too well that he would be driving a modern Formula 1 racing car for the first time, on a circuit he had never seen, against several top - flight drivers and in a major continental event.

		Chapter 140, Laws of 1955 which liberalizes the provision for vacations for state employees is retrospective in its application.
		The 1955 amendment is calculated to provide an additional incentive for continuity of employment for the state, both for full-time and part-time employees.
		We think the legislature must have intended that those employees whose tenure is such as to comply with the conditions contained in chapter 140, Laws of 1955, should be entitled to the more liberal vacation provisions at any time after the effective date of the act.
