Open-wheel car racing

Grand Prix motor racing, a form of motorsport competition, has its roots in organised automobile racing that began in France as early as 1894. It quickly evolved from simple road races from one town to the next, to endurance tests for car and driver. Innovation and the drive of competition soon saw speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour (160 km/h), but because early races took place on open roads, accidents occurred frequently, resulting in deaths both of drivers and of spectators.

Чемпионат по автогонкам CART (Championship Auto Racing Teams) был основан в 1979 г. владельцами команд, которые не соглашались с руководством и правилами серии USAC (United States Auto Club). После банкротства в 2003 г., серия сменила владельцев и была переименована в CCWS (Champ Car World Series).
