What are the oldest and second oldest F1 Grands Prix?
Answers:
Should Spa have been left alone?
First organised motor race was Paris-Rouen in 1894, which was won by Count de Dion - although he was disqualified because he did not have a mechanic with him!The first race to be called a Grand Prix was held in 1906. I say this because it was called the 'Grand Prix de L'Automobile Club de France' and was held at Le Mans. The second race was in 1907 and held in Dieppe. The first GP not held in France was in 1908, in America. They called it the 'American Grand Prize'
the first World Championship of Grand Prix Racing was held in 1925, as a manufacturers' title, with the Indy 500 joining national Grands Prix as qualifying rounds. From what I can find out, Indianapolis is the oldest circuit, having been used since 1909
In 1935, the German national authority suggested that an official champion driver should be chosen for GP racing.
I hope, with all the answers, you can bore the pants off anyone who asks you!
What Engine To Use In My Rx-7? SBC/SBF V8? Turbo V6?
There's really 2 answers to this question.Firstly, Grands Prix have been running since the early 1900's (not sure offhand when the first "Formula One" labelled one was held, though), but they were fairly sporadic and did not contribute to any championship.
However, the first World Championship was in 1950. Cars had to be either 1.5 litres supercharged or 4.5 litres unsupercharged.
The first race of the Championship was the British Grand Prix at Silverstone (of course!!) of which Farina won in a pre-war designed Alfa Romeo.
The second race of the Championship was in Monaco and Fangio won in a similar Alfa Romeo.
There were 4 more races in this inaugral Championship, one of which was the Indianapolis 500 (and remained part of the calendar for some years) but none of the regular Formula 1 drivers hardly ever took part in it.
Sorry I can't be more definite about the situation before this, though.
