history: Ive gotten into watching auto racing lately but I am just learning about it. Car racing is a motor sport involving the racing of cars for competition. Are there different races in auto racing? I don't rightly know, but specialist race cars had come about by the 1930s. Wow, I would love to see that. Are there major races in auto racing? Oh, yes, there are many categories, and each has different regulations and rules. Seems complicated. What else do you know about auto racing?
knowledge: On July 22, 1894, the Parisian magazine ''Le Petit Journal'' organized what is considered to be the world's first motoring competition, from Paris to Rouen.
