<p>Where you find competitive car auto racing, you will find car racing fans. There seems to be an abundance of love for this sport; for the thrill of racing and for the love of the competition, both of which have been around for quite some time. Before we had vehicles that ran on gasoline there were horse drawn carriages. Many a horse and buggy race has been played out in America and fans then were just as avid as the fans of the modern day sports car racing.</p>
<p><span id="more-125"></span></p>
<p> The very first race that was held in the U.S. took place on November 28th, in the year 1895. The race was held in the city of Evanston Illinois and was only a little over 54 miles. The whole race took over ten hours to finish. This was just the start of what evolved into the car racing phenomenon of today. Since the time of the first <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicheinfoportal.info/Sports-Car-Racing.php">car auto racing</a> competition, fans have continued to flock to the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicheinfoportal.info/Sports-Car-Racing.php">car race track</a> venues to show their support for their favorite driver and share in the thrill of the race.</p>
<p> If you are a fan of sports auto racing, then you already know that there are many different types of sports car racing that fans can enjoy. Enjoying competition racing does not have to begin when an individual reaches adulthood. There are many different types of competitions that children and younger individuals can take part in, as either fans or participants. Go-kart racing is very popular with children and can bring about a large amount of competition for both the children and their parents. Rc car racing is another huge favorite, but is not limited to only children. Many adults love to build and race rc vehicles. Other types of racing that draws in fans of all ages are the stock car race, Indy car racing and even the street car race.</p>
<p> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicheinfoportal.info/Sports-Car-Racing.php">Sports car racing</a> has been around for a long period of time and the fans have been around, of course, for just as long. Car racing fans seem to be a whole other breed from other sports fans. They love the excitement of the race and the thrill of not knowing what is going to happen next. While the fans of today are die hard competition lovers, the same could be said of the fans of races from bygone years. Think about the times of the Roman Empire and the excitement of the chariot races; such excitement might be compared to the Nascar or Indy car racing events of today.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dugXl4O6lyY">slot car race track</a></p>
<p>A popular hobby that some consider to be a sport is slot car racing. Many collectors look for special miniature race cars that are built especially to run on a slot car race track. The slot track serves as a guide for the car to run on. Most of the cars used in rc car racing are replicas of popular real life race cars, like the ones in Nascar or the Indy Cup. Most of the cars used in a slot car race have been commercially manufactured, but there are some avid hobbyists who like to modify the commercial ones or motorize some of the more elaborate static ones. Some will even go so far as to design and fabricate their own cars.</p>
<p><span id="more-116"></span></p>
<p> The slot car racing world is made up of a variety of different racing enthusiasts. Some, like little boys, choose to just race commercially built slot cars in the basement or a garage somewhere. Others will go to any extreme to participate in highly publicized races that require specially built or modified cars that perform at high levels not normally seen in hobby <a target="_blank" href="http://cars.jdkrecommends.info/">rc car racing</a>. Most of these slot car race competitions pay good money to the winner. Those who are not really interested in competitively racing slot cars may choose to simply collect the cars and will work on creating a custom <a target="_blank" href="http://cars.jdkrecommends.info/">car racing slot</a> track, similar to the ones produced by model train aficionado's.</p>
<p> The tracks used in slot car racing are specialized and are created to provide power to the slot cars as they pass along the track. On either side of the slot in the track, there are metal strips which provide power to the low-voltage electric motor in the car. The driver then has a small hand-held controller that allows them to control the speed of the car. Controlling the speed of the car through the curves is the key to keeping the car on the track. Too much momentum and the car may come out of the slot, propelling it off the track, thus disqualifying it from the slot car race.</p>
<p> Many of the modified <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicheinfoportal.info/Slot-Car-Racing.php">slot car racing</a> cars now come equipped with something called magnet traction. Magnet traction does not hold the car into the slot, but it does give it enough grip to stabilize it just a little. While magnet traction is legal, many enthusiasts do not like to use it in a slot car race for several reasons. They feel that it take the challenge away from the original idea of rc car racing, and they feel that magnet traction does not allow the rear of the car to slide enough to correctly and effectively propel it around the curves in the track.</p>

<p>If you have teenage children, then you most likely know what a car racing game is. These types of games have taken on a new life over the past few years and have made their way into households all across America. Years ago, when video games first came on the market, there wasn't a lot to choose from in car race games. Today, it is possible to find Indy car race games and motorcycle racing games and many, many more.</p>
<p><span id="more-114"></span></p>
<p> In 1974, the Atari Company came out with the Arcade game, Gran Trak 10. This game is considered to be forefather of this group of video games. This particular racing game showed the player the track from an overhead view. The player gained points by racing around a track against the game's clock. The games that followed had more definition to their graphics and offered more exciting play. But it was not until Namco came out with the Pole Position game did players actually get to race against other vehicles. This was the beginning of true <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicheinfoportal.info/Car-Racing-Game.php">car racing videos</a>. This video game was also the first to be based on an actual racing circuit. The game was quite challenging for its time; however, it was not in the league of the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicheinfoportal.info/Car-Racing-Game.php">fantasy auto racing</a> games that are on the market today.</p>
<p> The car racing game systems of today are hugely realistic. They give the individual who is playing the feel of actually being behind the wheel of a race car and racing against various other vehicles on the track. Many individuals become entranced in these games and can spend hours playing them, mainly because of how realistic the games can seem. The popularity of the car auto racing game play is overwhelming. Not only can gamers enjoy the video games themselves, but they can also join an online community to share game stories, chat with fellow gamers and even learn about new "cheats" for their video games.</p>
<p> While video games were once considered only child's play, today there are many adults who love to play sports auto racing games, such as stock car race games, which are highly popular. Many of these adults can remember playing one of the many <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicheinfoportal.info/Car-Racing-Game.php">car racing game</a> systems that were available at the time, as a child; perhaps the games of today bring back those memories.</p>

<p>The Formula 1 car racing circuit is sometimes referred to as the F1 circuit and is the highest class achievable in motor sports racing. This ruling was made by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile. The FIA is responsible for governing all of the car racing sports competed in worldwide. As such, they have set down some very strict guidelines for both the vehicles entered into the races and the drivers who operate them. This is where the term "formula" comes from. Formula 1 racing is often mistaken for Indy car racing. While the cars are similar, the F1 class is higher and the rules and regulations are very different.</p>
<p><span id="more-113"></span></p>
<p> The Formula One circuit is made up of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicheinfoportal.info/1-Car-Racing.php">street car racing</a>, which is referred to as the Grand Prix. One thing that is distinctly different about the Formula 1 racing circuit is that there are two championships at the end of the circuit: one for the car constructors and one for the drivers. A race of this type is generally held on a specially built <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicheinfoportal.info/1-Car-Racing.php">car race track</a> or on a roadway. The road races are perhaps the most popular of the Formula 1 races; the most widely known being the Monaco Grand Prix.</p>
<p> Formula 1 car racing involves vehicles that are modified for optimal performance. The speed that can be obtained in one of these cars can reach 360 mph. On corners, at high speeds, g-force is experienced. The constructors of the cars are members of the car racing team and they must follow a certain set of rules when <a href="http://thefunyoucanhave.com/sports/putting" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://thefunyoucanhave.com/sports/putting';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">putting</a> the cars together; however, they are allowed some leeway to modify the aerodynamics, electronics, tires, and suspension to improve performance on the track.</p>
<p> The Formula <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicheinfoportal.info/1-Car-Racing.php">1 car racing</a> vehicles are all somewhat similar as well. They all have a single seat and they all have an open cockpit. They must choose from a list of approved engine manufacturers, including Toyota, Ferrari, Mercedes, Honda, BMW and Renault. The tires, during the 2008 racing season, must be made by Bridgestone. There are twenty drivers total for the en teams that will compete each year in the Formula One racing circuit. For more information, visit www.formula1.com. It is a great source for more info about this type of sports auto racing.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXKqedQDn94">sports auto</a></p>
<p>Every Formula 1 car race is run with cars that are very high performance and have certain standards set down for them by the FIA, or the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile. The FIA sets many rules for every Formula 1 car racing team. There are several reasons for these rules. First and foremost is the need for safety measures. Also, while some margin of flexibility is given to the team constructors to optimize the car for performance, there is also a need for some uniformity in the performance and design of every car, from every team.</p>
<p><span id="more-112"></span></p>
<p> The Formula 1 cars have a single seat and an open cockpit. The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicheinfoportal.info/index.php">sports auto</a> chassis is made largely from a carbon fiber composite, which allows for strength and stiffness, while still remaining light. The regulations and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicheinfoportal.info/index.php">car guides</a> set down by the FIA state that the combination of car and driver cannot exceed 600 kg. This includes the engine and any fluids added to it, such as fuel and water.</p>
<p> The Formula 1 car race vehicles are designed by the car racing teams to be nearly aerodynamically perfect. The front and the rear of the car have "wings" or spoilers mounted to them, which provide a significant downforce as air passes over them. This keeps the car hugging the track and prevents any chances of them turning over. To add to this, the car sits very close to the ground, allowing very little air to creep underneath of it. Many of the current car designs created by car racing teams have additional small spoilers or other aerodynamic aides added to them to improve performance through both turns and the straightaway.</p>
<p> All racing teams have guidelines that they must follow when <a href="http://thefunyoucanhave.com/sports/putting" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://thefunyoucanhave.com/sports/putting';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">putting</a> tires on their car for a Formula <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nicheinfoportal.info/index.php">1 car race</a>. The tires are manufactured specifically for the Formula 1 racing circuit. Before 1998, a team was required to use what is called a slick tire, which had no tread at all. In 1998, the FIA banned slick tires and made the teams switch to a grooved tire. These grooved tires have four grooves and were made specifically for the purpose of limiting the turning speeds of the cars. However, this will change again in the 2009 racing season, as slick tires will once again be legal in the Formula 1 car racing sports circuit.</p>
