Formula One – The Race of Today

Racing is one of the most popular sports in existance; when it comes to auto racing the undeniable champion is Formula One. Formula One is the most technologically sophisticated and most exciting race championship to watch in the world; that is exactly why many Formula One races manage to bring in a TV audience of more than 600 million people.

Formula One races are raced in numerous countries around the globe. A standard Formula One race consists of twenty four cars in standard cases; generally with two cars per team. Based on the finishing position credits are given to each team and each manufacturer as a way to create rivalry and competitveness throughout the season.

Formula One races are about much more than just racing though; there is a long lasting history behind a lot of the prominent Formula One teams. Sponsorships and prize money are definitely important as well; largely due to the price of running and maintaining a competitive Formula One team.

In recent times Formula One has moved very fast through new technology. New car and engine technologies have really pushed the envelope for the race teams, and as a result everything has become much more expensive. Unfortunately this means new teams are unlikely to be successful, thus making it not likely that very many new teams even attempt to join.

Of course technology isn’t the only thing advanced about Formula One. Formula One has bred some of the most skilled and precise drivers in the world simply due to the speed and competition presented. Each race causes new and exciting challenges to every team and driver regardless of the previous race. These new challenges not only make the races exciting for the drivers and teams, they also bring fans back week after week to watch every Formula One race of the season.
