Formula One (1232 words)
Formula One, or Grand Prix racing is the best known single-seater auto racing class, which involves an annual world championship.
In 1950, a world championship Formula One was established for drivers.
The sport is lesser-known in the United States than either their mostly-domestic open-wheeler racing series (at the moment there are two major ones, IRL and CART) or NASCAR, but in terms of budgets and global TV audiences F1 is bigger than all three.
