  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 Ford History
Formula Ford provides drivers with their first insights into how a racing car feels to drive and how to properly set up a car to be competitive.
A Formula Ford car is one of the more distinctive-looking open-wheel race cars because it does not have wings to create aerodynamic downforce, which is one of the reasons the series has persisted for so long in motor racing.
Formula Ford cars weigh less than 450 kg (1000 lb), so their engines, which typically develop about 115 hp, are capable of propelling them from 0-100 km/h in less than five seconds, reaching top speeds of 220 km/h (140 mph).

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.
