Talk:Grand Prix motor racing

message: Can't help but notice that besides this article on Grand Prix motor racing there is one on Formula one. Is a merge in order?Gzuckier 22:04, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Indulging in Necromancy to answer this - Formula One is only one kind of Grand Prix motor racing. This article has a wider remit, majoring on pre-WWII (and therefore pre-F1) Grand Prix racing. 4u1e 15:45, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge with F1

message: Assessed as Class B - seems like good content, but no inline citations. 4u1e 15:45, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Class B

message: There's no mention of the 1931 and 1932 AIACR European Champions, while there is of the 1934-1939 Champions. I reckon this should be added. Lustigson 19:48, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  No mention of 1931 and '32 European Champions 

message: The post-WWII section seems to speak exclusively of F1, but where does that leave other series that refer to their races as Grands Prix?  Champ Car World Series races such as the San Jose Grand Prix or Grand Prix of Cleveland come to mind.  I'm sure GP2 and A1GP do this as well.  Is there a piece of information I'm missing?

message: As the direct predecessor to modern Formula One Grand Prix racing, I rated the article as highly important to motorsports history. It could possibly even merit a Top rating, if others support the notion. --Chr.K. 20:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: After five minutes of deliberation, I've decided to make it just that, regardless; the avatar image on the "cover" of the Motorsports History taskforce tag is a freakin' Grand Prix car to begin with. --Chr.K. 20:39, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

message: In the article we have the following text:
"In 1922, Italy became the first country outside France to host an automobile race using the name Grand Prix (or Gran Premio), run at Monza."
This is not true. Whilst not a Grande Épreuve, the American Grand Prize first ran in 1908. See the articles 
1908 Grand Prix season and United States Grand Prix for evidence, along with citations.
Grand Prize has the same meaning as Grand Prix and Gran Premio, so I am going to be bold and modify this sentence in the article Paddyslacker (talk) 03:24, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Grand Prix motorsport racing isn't Formula One only. Champ Car and Indy Car and other series use this term too. I think that the article must be completed with this series. They are very important series of motorsport.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.220.149.150 (talk) 10:24, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The main focus of this article is Grand Prix motor racing before the introduction of Formula One. And while I agree that Champ Car and IndyCar are important series, and that the names of their races include the term "Grand Prix", I don't think they are/were referred to as "Grand Prix racing" in the way that Formula One sometimes is.

thread_title:  Other Series 

message: Could someone please add the proper pronunciation? (I know what it is but I'm not familiar enough with phonetic spelling to do so.) Just to make clear it's not pronounced as 'grand pricks'... The Seventh Taylor (talk) 07:07, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: The article starts out that a Grand Prix is a type of motor racing that started in france at a given time, but never defines what type of racing it is! I am sure this is in part because there doesn't appear to be any consistent definition, but we could at least include some etymology here. Why was it called Grand Prix originally, what is does Prix mean? etc.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.49.157.39 (talk) 12:20, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
