World Racing Classification

Formula Car Racing:

A type of car track competition. Racing cars must be built in accordance with the procedures stipulated in the vehicle technical regulations issued by the International Automobile Federation, including body structure, length and width, minimum weight, engine working volume, number of cylinders, fuel tank capacity, electronic equipment, distance and size of tires, etc.

The manufacturing procedures for each level of formula racing are different. Projects belonging to formula car competitions include: F-1, F-3000, F-3, Asian Formula, Formula Unlimited, Formula Ford, Formula Renault, Formula Kart, etc.

Formula 1 (F1/Formula 1)

World Formula One Championship. One of the car racing events. It is the highest level of formula racing. The world's first velodrome racing event took place in Melun, France, in 1900. The modern world Formula One Championship began in 1950 at the Silverstone Circuit in the United Kingdom. It now holds 16 races per year and is arranged by the International Automobile Federation. The existing 19 participating teams are all members of the "Formula One Constructors Association (FOCA)". Drivers must hold a "Super Driving License" issued by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile. There are no more than 100 drivers in the world holding this license every year.

The competition has driver awards and team awards. The total distance of each race is 305 kilometers, and the time taken is no more than 2 hours. The top six in each race are selected, and the points awarded to the drivers are 10, 6, 4, 3, 2, and 1 in order. At the end of each season, the drivers' best 13 results out of the 16 races throughout the year are added up to get the total points. The one with the highest score is the world champion that year. The Constructors' World Championship is scored in the same way as the Drivers.

During the competition, every 2 cars form a group, and an elimination system is implemented. The competition is divided into multiple rounds until the champion is determined. The method of starting from a fixed point is adopted, the race is accelerated, and the driving time from the starting line to the finish line is measured by electronic instruments to evaluate the results.

Use specially designed and manufactured piston or jet racing cars, which use gasoline, methanol or kerosene as fuel and weigh 500-1000 kilograms. Among them, the "Advanced Alcohol Enthusiast (TAFC)" class has an engine capacity of 8930CC, an output power of 2,500 horsepower, and a speed of 382 km/h; the "Tripod Advanced Fuel Vehicle (TFD)" class has an engine volume of 8127CC, an output power of 5,000 horsepower, The speed can reach 460 kilometers per hour; the "jet enthusiast" grade engine output reaches 10,000 horsepower.

Endurance race (Grand Touring Car)

Also known as "GT race". A type of car racing. Race cars for long term durability. Competition vehicles are divided into two categories: station wagons and sports prototypes, and are divided into several levels according to the working capacity of the engine. Each car can have 2-3 drivers in the competition, who take turns driving.

The annual International Automobile Endurance Series is divided into 11 stations, held around the world. The race usually lasts for 8-12 hours, and results are judged based on the number of completed laps. The more famous competitions include: Le Mans 24-hour endurance race in France and Suzuka 8-hour endurance race in Japan. Back to top
