It is hard to talk about cars without motorsports.Human's constant hunger for faster speeds has advanced the technology of cars, and in that fierce competition of motorsports, cars have become faster and stronger.Let's see what kind of motorsports are on the planet.

[ Formula 1 / F1 : Auto Race Motorsports in the Earth ]

1. Start of car racing

As cars were developed and driven on the road,

people naturally began to wonder which car was faster and better.

Thus, in 1906, the Grand Prix motor racing was held in Europe

in the form of a national competition.

The Grand Prix race car was a single-seater race car

with an engine, chassis, and wheel protruding.

In 'Circuit' where the starting and ending points are connected,

the race was contested 'who started at the same time and drove a set distance faster.'

This was the beginning of car racing.

After World War II, the Formula One started in 1950,

racing fiercely in various circuits around the world and continues to date.

2. Reason that is the best motor sport in the world

F1 is called the world's best motorsport,

not simply because the F1 is the best in terms of commerciality and size,

but because the F1 race car is the fastest car in the world.

F1 race car's circuit lap time shows that

it is overwhelmingly faster than other race cars.

3. Meaning of winning F1

In the '80s and '90s, it is said that

80% of racecar performance and 20% of driver performance
are combined to win the F1 title,

but now 95% of car performance and 5% of driver capacity
are combined to win the championship.

In other words, while the ability of the driver is important,

the performance of the car is what determines winning or losing.

So winning the F1 is 'making the fastest car in the world,'

which means the team has the best technology.

4. The most important thing for winning F1

And in order to have that great technology, there's one thing that's most important.

It's money.

Of course, because of the limitations of the technical specifications
in developing the racecars,    

you can think of it as having no money influence.

But to make an F1 race car,

one team usually needs more than 10 million dollars for parts alone.

Without money, it's hard to assemble and complete a racecar.

But if an F1 team has a lot of money,

the team can invest that much more money
in the development and setting of the racecars,

and that's what makes the racecars even better.

And if the team spends a lot of money to create an outstanding racecar,

and win the championship, it will earn a lot of money.

And again, the fund creates a virtuous circle
in which the team can develop better racecars.

In the opposite case, the vicious circle is bound to repeat itself.

Of course, it's not 100% impossible,

but it's almost impossible to invest less money
and develop a better performance racecar. 

It's a typical professional sports world,

like professional football or baseball,

and it's similar to the world we live in.

But what's impossible is happening in the world of sports,

so people enjoy sports.

And Our lives are also similar to the world of sports

so that we can live our lives so powerful today.
