Sports car racing involves two-seat, enclosed-wheel cars that are either purpose-built prototypes or related to road-going models. Long-distance endurance races like Le Mans emphasize reliability, strategy, and teamwork over individual speed. Prestigious brands like Porsche, Ferrari, and BMW have built their reputations through success in sports car racing and building road cars similar to their race cars. The 12 Hours of Sebring, 24 Hours of Daytona, and 24 Hours of Le Mans were once considered the premier sports car races, though Ken Miles nearly won all three in 1966 for Ford before an error cost him at Le Mans.

2. Information about racecars.
Sports cars racing is a form of circuit auto racing with sports cars that have two seats
and enclosed wheels. They may be purpose-built (Prototype) or related to road-going models (Grand
Touring).
A type of hybrid between the purism of open-wheelers and the familiarity of touring car racing,
this style is often associated with the annual Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race. First run in 1923, Le
Mans is one of the oldest motor races still in existence. Other classic but now defunct sports car races
include the Italian classics, the Targa Florio (1906–1977) and Mille Miglia (1927–1957), and the
Mexican Carrera Panamericana (1950-1954).
Most top class sports car races emphasize endurance (typically between 2.5-24 hours),
reliability, and strategy, over pure speed. Longer races usually involve complex pit strategy and regular
driver changes. As a result, sports car racing is seen more as a team endeavor than an individual sport,
with team managers such as John Wyer, Tom Walkinshaw, driver-turned-constructor Henri Pescarolo,
Peter Sauber and Reinhold Joest becoming almost as famous as some of their drivers.

The prestige of storied marques such as Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar, Aston
Martin, Lotus, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW is built in part
upon success in sportscar racing and the World Sportscar Championship.
These makers' top road cars have often been very similar both in engineering
and styling to those raced. This close association with the 'exotic' nature of the cars
serves as a useful distinction between sports car racing and touring cars.

The 12 Hours of Sebring, 24 Hours of Daytona, and 24
Hours of Le Mans were once widely considered the trifecta
of sports car racing. Driver Ken Miles would have been the
only ever to win all three in the same year but for an error in
the Ford GT40's team orders at Le Mans in 1966 that cost
him the win in spite of finishing first.

6. Racing cars
In the 1920s, the cars used in endurance racing and Grand Prix were still basically identical,
with fenders and two seats, to carry a mechanic if necessary or permitted. Cars such as the Bugatti
Type 35 were almost equally at home in Grands Prix and endurance events, but specialisation
gradually started to differentiate the sports-racer from the Grand Prix car. The legendary Alfa Romeo
Tipo A Monoposto started the evolution of the true single-seater in the early 1930s; the Grand Prix racer
and its miniature voiturette offspring rapidly evolved into high performance single seaters optimised for
relatively short races, by dropping fenders and the second seat. During the later 1930s, French
constructors, unable to keep up with the progress of the Mercedes-Benz And Auto-Union cars in GP
racing, withdrew into primarily domestic competition with large-capacity sports cars – marques such as
Delahaye, Talbot and the later Bugattis were locally prominent.

A steam car burned fuel that heated water in a boiler. This process made
steam that expanded and pushed pistons, which turned a crankshaft. An
electric car had a battery that powered a small electric motor, which turned a
drive shaft. A gasoline car ignited fuel that caused a small explosion inside
each cylinder. This explosion pushed the piston and turned a crankshaft
connected to the wheels by a chain or drive shaft.

9. COOL CARS AND FACTS!!!!!
In 1900 wealthy people bought cars for pleasure, comfort, and status.
Many doctors bought small, affordable cars because they were more
dependable than horses and easier to keep ready. Rural Americans liked cars
because they could cover long distances without depending on trains. They
carried produce to market, went to stores and movies in town, and even
used their cars to plow fields. Families in towns and cities liked cars because
they were handy for errands, going to the train station, visiting relatives,
going to church, and going on drives in the country. A family’s house with a
car in the driveway has been a common sight since about 1910. Young
people liked cars because they could go to movies, restaurants, and other
fun places instead of staying at home with their parents.
