	Formula One - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Formula One, abbreviated to F1, and also known as Grand Prix racing, is the highest class of single-seat open-wheel formula auto racing.
		The formula has seen many evolutions and changes through the history of the sport: engines have ranged from normally-aspirated straight-4 engines to supercharged V12 engines, displacements have ranged from 1.5 litres to 4.5 litres, and the maximum power achieved in the history of the series has been around 1200 bhp, during the turbo era.
		Formula 1 is generally one of the biggest global TV draws behind football and the olympics.

	Formula One regulations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Formula One engines must be naturally aspirated, four-stroke internal combustion petrol engines with reciprocating circular pistons and a maximum of two intake and two exhaust valves per cylinder.
		The rules between 1998 and 2005 stated that Formula One engines may be no more than 3 litres engine displacement and must have 10 cylinders.
		Formula 2 rules; naturally aspirated engines of 2000 cc or supercharged engines of 500 cc allowed.

		The regulations specify maximum and minimum dimensions, engine capacity, what is permitted technically and what is not permitted and, perhaps most important of all, a large number of safety measures to be incorporated in the car with a view to protecting the driver.
		Formula Two (not currently in use), Formula Three and Formula 3000 are also FIA specifications, but each has lower performance than Formula One.
		The regulations stipulate that each driver may use a maximum of 32 dry-weather tyres (40 in 1998) and 28 wet-weather tyres throughout the duration of the event.

		In addition to a large number of regulations governing chassis design, the current formula restricts the cylinder capacity of the engine to 3 litres, prohibits supercharging and stipulates a minimum total weight of 600 kg, including the weight of the driver and his race equipment.
		There was no "formula" in the early era of the motor car from 1894 (the year of the first motor race in history, from Paris to Rouen) to 1900.
		The regulations stipulate that each driver may use a maximum of 40 dry-weather tyres (12 of which may not be used after the first day of practice) and 28 wet-weather tyres throughout the duration of the event.

	Formula One
		Formula One, abbreviated to F1 and also known as Grand Prix racing, is the highest class of single-seater (open-wheel) auto racing; it is a worldwide sport, and involves an annual World Drivers Championship and World Constructors Championship.
		Non-championship Formula One races were held for many years around the world, but due to rising costs and sinking interest, the last of these ended in the early 1980s.
		Formula One has been called the soap opera of the sports world: the exotic locations, vast quantities of money, and famous faces involved in the "F1 circus" lend the sport an aura of glamour entirely absent from most other world sports.

		Due to the vast technological advances of the 1990s, the cost to compete in Formula One rose dramatically; this increased financial burden, combined with three teams' dominance, caused the poorer independent teams to struggle not only to remain competitive, but to stay in business.
		Formula One cars are faster than any other single-seater circuit racers.
		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 "

		Modern Formula One cars are single-seat, open cockpit, open wheel race cars that have substantial wings at front and rear, and position the engine behind the driver.
		The regulations specify that the cars must be powered by 3.0 litre ten cylinder naturally-aspirated engines in the V10 configuration that have no more than five valves per cylinder.
		By regulation, the tyres feature a minimum of four grooves in them, with the intention of slowing the cars down (a slick tyre, with no indentations, is best in dry conditions).

	Formula One
		On its face, today’s formula may appear just as simple – engines must be naturally aspirated, the cylinder capacity must not exceed 3.0 liters, and the cars (including the driver) must weigh at least 600 kg at all times – but in reality, it’s much more complex.
		The FIA Formula One Technical Regulations document spans 45 pages, and covers every aspect of the car – bodywork, transmission, steering, electrical systems, wheels – right down to the types of materials used and the composition of the fuel.
		Because the regulations are so extensive and specific, F1 cars in the current crop are quite similar to each other in design and performance – lap times are often separated by mere tenths of a second.

	Formula One Vs CART: One Man's View
		In recent times, accepted motor racing wisdom had it that Champ Cars (previously known as Indy cars) and Formula One cars were very different from one another technically and in terms of their dynamic behaviour.
		In basic terms, both Champ Car and Formula One car are single-seater racing machines based on a carbonfibre monocoque, or "tub", with the engine and gearbox mounted behind the driver and acting as "stressed" (load-bearing) structures.
		Current Formula One technical regulations call for a "flat" floor that has a 60mm "step" down the centre to control the minimum ride height at which a car may run.

		The Formula One series has its roots in the European Grand Prix motor racing (´´q.v.´´ for pre-1947 history) of the 1920s and 1930s.
		The new 2.4 litre 8 Cylinder Formula is set to be introduced as early as the beginning of 2006 season allowing smaller teams to run rpm-limited V10 3-litre engines.
		The effects on the already low viewing figures are to be seen as the sound produced by V8 engines is expected to be different and perhaps not as loud as their V10 counterparts.
