[quote="Jag_Warrior"]It's not real. You can't touch it. It's a state of mind.

Uh oh! Move back. Watch your feet. Don't trip me! Look out now! Woo! /[quote]

In 1950, as an answer to the Motorcycle World Championships introduced in 1949, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) organized the first ever official World Championship for Drivers using the Formula One rules. The organization of the championship, to be held across six of the 'major' Grands Prix of Europe

Actually, this is not correct, given it was not until the 1961 season that the regulations for the WDC stipulated that the championship events had to be run using the International Racing Formula 1. From 1950 to 1960, as the 1952 and 1953 seasons, and the Indianapolis events from 1954 to 1960 clearly demonstrate, the events in the world championship did not have to conform to the formula 1 in place. Until the 1981 season, the regulations for formula 1 and the WDC were separate and distinct from one another.

Of course, the first Grand Prix for cars was actually as far back as 1906. Officially, anyway. The term was taken from horse racing, and I've no idea how long that's been going. Presumably not long after somebody invented the horse.

Appparently the romans were fond of it.
