The history of the automotive races begin with the first vehicles: the constructors wants to test their cars and motorcycles against the nature ("raid" and "trophy") and against the others constructors (with the speed records and road races).
It's thanks to the competitions that new solutions and new ideas become real, contributing to the evolution of the vehicles, not only the ones built for racing. Another important fact is that races are a fantastic system to sell the product.

But there is also the human side of the challenge: the drivers of the racing cars and motorcycles become famous and more and more people know their name and their enterprises. The same is for the great engineers and the circuits.

In these pages we want to remember the long history of the races that begin from the first challenge and arrives to today. We tell you about the different aspects of the world of the automotive races. We think this is the best way to appreciate and understand the evolution of the modern vehicles.

For the moment there are few pages but control periodically this section for the new entries...
