A number of Grand Prix racing organisations laid out rules for a World Championship before World War II, but due to the suspension of racing during the war, the World Drivers Championship was not formalised until 1947, and was first run in 1950.
Races are a little over 305 kilometres (180 miles) long and are limited to two hours, though in practice they usually last about ninety minutes.
Six of the original seven races took place in Europe; the only non-European race that counted towards the World Championship in 1950 was the Indianapolis 500, which, due to lack of participation by F1 teams, since it required cars with different specifications from the other races, was later replaced by the United States Grand Prix.

 Jim Clark Biography Grand Prix Motor Racing Legend   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Lotus were just entering Formula One when Jimmy signed as their principal driver, and in Chapman's words they, "Came of age together." The combination of Clark, Chapman, and Lotus developed into one of the most formidable in GP history.
But he did have what I can only describe as a very good intellect, and he picked up the engineering side of motor racing so rapidly that after a while I was able to interpret his expressions regarding the car, its handling and its requirements and so on.
This made Surtees and Brabham do a quick dodge round the Lotus, demonstrating why Grand Prix stars are supermen, for most drivers would have had an accident at that speed, and the commentator at Lesmo nearly had an apoplectic fit as Surtees went by in the lead, with half a lap to go.
