were did the first f1 race held?

Answer 1

The first national event in German Grand Prix motor racing came to the AVUS (Automobil Verkehrs und Übungs-Straße) race course in southwest Berlin in 1926 as a sports car race. It became an official Grand Prix event in 1929. The first race at the AVUS track, in heavy rain, was won by Germany's native son, Rudolf Caracciola, who would win 6 of 12 GPs before 1940.

The first 1926 race was marred by an accident involving driver Adolf Rosenberger, whose car crashed into one of the marshals' huts, killing three people. The German Grand Prix would not return to the AVUS track again, until once in 1959.

Answer 3

It depends upon whether you are talking about Formula 1 or the World Championship!

Formula 1 was a term that was introduced in 1947 and was called this because another formula (Formula 2!) was brought in as a 'support race'. The first Formula 1 race was the Grand Prix de Suisse, held on 8 June 1947 at Bremgarten. The race was 30 laps of a 4.524 mile circuit. It was won by Jean-Pierre Wimille in an Alfa Romeo., in a time of 1 hour 25 minutes, at an average speed of 95.632mph. He also had the fastest lap, a time of 2 minutes 47 seconds.

First official F1 grand prix for the Drivers' Championship was held at Silverstone on 13 May 1950. As well as being called the British Grand Prix, it was also known as the European Grand Prix. It was won by Giuseppe Farina in an Alfa Romeo in a time of 2 hours 13 minutes, at an average speed of 90.950 mph. He also had the fastest lap, at 1 minute 51.0 seconds. Farina went on to win the World Championship and Alfa Romeo won Constructors Championship.

The first Grand Prix was held in 1906, at Le Mans. It was won by Ferenc Szisz in a Renault, in at time of 12 hours 14 minutes. Mind you, the circuit was 64.120-miles!!!

The first Manufacturers' World Championship of Grand Prix racing was held in 1925, when it was won by Alfa Romeo.

Hope that helps you work out which was the first F1 race and that you are not now totally confused!

Answer 4

I'll put in my opinion without an answer! There is a difference between F1 and Grand Prix. Grand Prix races have been held almost since the invention of the car and many of these lasted for five and six hours! F1 is a modern term and can also be used to differentiate between F1 Grand Prix, Champ Car Grand Prix, Moto GP and so on. As I recall, Grand Prix just translates to Big Prize ( a bit dull) but it sounds more exotic in French!

Answer 5

Silverstone 1950 (under the title of F1) Before that there were many races but not under that guise. Some of the answerers here would have done well to read your question before spouting off about races in 1920 something and ' depends what you mean' as you clearly said 'first F1 race'
