  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.

 Formula One History - Wings, Shunts & Ground Effects
Lotus returned in force in 1970, a season which was all about the brilliance of Austrian Jochen Rindt with the new Lotus 72 (taking the laurels in Monaco, Holland, France, Britain and Germany) and was overshadowed by Rindt's horrific death in practice for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza's infamous Parabolica corner.
Despite a season marred by protests and concerns about driver safety — Fittipaldi refused to drive in the Spanish GP, which was stopped after 29 laps when a car launched into the crowd, killing four spectators — Lauda took nine poles and won five races to capture his first of three F1 crowns.
Formula One cars now sported huge airboxes behind the cockpits to increase air flow to the engine, leading the way (after a short experiment with the famous six-wheel Tyrrell P34, which was a front-runner throughout 1976) to the next major technical revolution in F1: ground effects.

In the 1961 Formula One season, with new rules for 1500cm³, the team kept Hill, von Trips and Ginther, and debuted another Chiti-designed car, the Ferrari 156 based on the Formula 2 car of 1960, which was dominant throughout the season.
The 1965 Formula One season was the last year of the 1.5-liter formula, so Ferrari opted to use the same V8 engine another year together with a new flat-12 which had debuted at the end of 1964; they won no races as Clark dominated in his now more reliable Lotus.
The 1968 Formula One season was better; Jacky Ickx drove with one win in France and several good positions, which gave him a chance at the World Championship until a practise crash in Canada, and Amon led several races but won none.

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.
This form earned him a drive with Ferrari for 1959, and he stared his second season with the Italian team by finishing second in the Argentinian Grand Prix, but he was thrown from his car in practice at Monaco and broke an arm, leaving him on the sidelines for the remainder of the season.

 Jim Clark's 1967 Formula One season   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The season opener in South Africa saw the H16 self-destruct again and for Monaco Clark used a 33 again, the car's last race.
Late season wins at the US Grand Prix and the Mexican Grand Prix took his total to 41 points but not enough to challenge Denis Hulme whose steady run in the championship (only two wins but plenty of placings) bore out the value of the simple and reliable Repco-Brabham.
By the end of 1967, however, he was still very motivated, confident of taking the Lotus 49 to the next year's championship, and looking forward to the Tasman Cup in January, 1968.

 F1 Rejects - To Have Loved and Lost: The 1967 South African GP
But 37 years ago, at the start of 1967, F1 was a completely different ball game, where the amateur spirit, though quickly disappearing as the era of sponsorship drew near, still permeated the paddock.

The 1967 season was probably chosen by the developers of GPL because this season is widely viewed as a turning point in Formula One.
At that time safety wasn't felt to be a particularly important issue: it was the shocking crash of Lorenzo Bandini at the Monaco chicane during 1967 that got Formula One as a whole thinking on the topic seriously.
Dave Kaemmer said that "Driving a 1967 GP car is more difficult than driving just about anything else, and the simulation is more difficult than driving a real car...many people think that it feels like driving on ice." In some way GPL is more a virtual sport than a game.

Perhaps the most infamous of these is Tom Jones, whose fleeting appearance at the 1967 Canadian GP (where he was deemed too slow in practice to start the race) bizarrely seemed to be all that anyone knew about him.
He entered some Formula A races (later Formula 5000), and in one particular event at Mosport he performed brilliantly in wet conditions until he crashed out.
But, fatefully, in mid August 1967, only two weeks after purchasing the car from Cooper, which included no spare parts whatsoever, one of Jones' friends phoned him to say that there was soon going to be an F1 race at Mosport - the first ever Canadian Grand Prix.
