OR A JOB Racing started soon after the first good gasoline-fuelled
cars. The first race organized was on April 28, 1887 by the main
editor of Paris publication Le Velocipede, Monsieur Fossier. It was
2 kilometres from Neuily Bridge to the Bois de Boulogne. Georges
Bouton won it in a car he had built, but he was the only racer to
come so it was not really a race. some racing is done with GT
(grand tourers)which are based on road cars, or sports prototypes
which are especially made for the race track.GTsports prototypes
The best-known type of single-seater racing, Formula one. In
single-seater, the wheels are not covered, and the cars often have
aerofoil wings front and rear to produce down force and help it
stay on the track. There are lots of different race tracks like
Bathurst 1000 a 1,000-kilometre touring car race. And the 24 hour
le mans race at the Silverstone track Slide 4 ENTERTAINMENT There
are lots of entertainment things for cars like The Frankfurt And
Shanghai motor shows witch have new cars and concept cars. They
have all the flash brands like Mercedes, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche
and well known Ones like Audi and bmw, Toyota And Nissan. There are
sometimes car parades and old car auctions Demolition Durby races
were car crash car and the last surviving car wins. Drag races are
built from scratch and race 400m They are very highly modified and
have special engines and fuel. They are long and low and are very
fast and can get to top speed Very fast. There tyres need replacing
after every race And some parts of the engine need replacing
because they have melted. 42 drag racers died in 2005-2009.drag
racing is a very dangerous sport. There are lots of types of drug
cars these are the ones used in NHRA racing Top fuel drag cars,
funny drag cars and pro stock drag cars. Slide 5 RESTORATION/CLUBS
There are lots of car clubs around new Zealand And lots of old
cars. Like the early American car club of N.Z. which restore and
preserve American Cars manufactured between1932-62 People restore
cars in their leisure time as a hobby and drive them around
town.restoring car is expensive because some parts have to be hand
made because there Are none left. Once you have restored it you
could put it in parades. Clubs have old cars and go on drives
around N.Z. There are swap meet where you sell old car Parts. And
where clubs get together and show of there cars. Some club are hot
rod clubs witch are highly modified With new parts and extra parts
like turbos. Hot rods are Very popular in America and there are
lots of hot rod races. Slide 6 WHY I THINK CARS ARE USED FOR LESIRE
TIME People go for drives to look at the country side Go to races,
join clubs, go to motor shows and Some just play around with their
cars in the garage. People go to car shows and sport and food but
how do they get there? Hmmm oh of corse cars! Cars a part of our
every day life and very important to us and we are willing to pay
ridiculous prices for some Old cars. Cars have progressed over the
decades in speed, power, looks and some are very famous like the vw
