WHAT
IS FORMULA
ONE - Many people
see Formula One (F1) racing as the very best in the whole of motorsport.
It's actually a set of rules for single-seater racing cars. The
rules apply to how much the cars can weigh and how they're raced.
Formula
One, abbreviated to F1 and also known as Grand Prix racing,
is a form offormula racing and the highest class of single-seatopen-wheelauto
racing. It is a worldwidesport,
involving an annual World Drivers Championship and World Constructors
Championship, and is the most expensive sport in the world, as annual team
budgets average in the hundreds of millions of US
dollars. It is based around a series of races; 19 in the 2005
Formula One season), known as grands prix, on
custom-constructed road courses or closed-off street circuits. The sport is regulated by the FIA,Fédération
Internationale de l'Automobile, and is generally promoted and
controlled by Bernie
Ecclestone.
The

in Schools Challenge is a competition, open to all UK based secondary
schools, colleges and (organised) youth groups, to design and manufacture
CO2 powered model racing cars (dragsters).
