<\/p>\nNowadays, racing cars can also specifically refer to some vehicles that are specially manufactured or modified for racing. Most of these cars have had non-essential parts removed in order to reduce their weight, and their shapes are also very different. Therefore, they may not necessarily comply with traffic regulations and be driven directly on the street. Ordinary cars are used for transportation, and ordinary mass-produced cars that are close to racing cars are called sports cars. These vehicles exist for competitions, so they have luxurious features that are removed from competition vehicles.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\nRacing began shortly after the first gasoline-powered automobile was invented. According to records, Monsieur Fossier, editor-in-chief of Le V\u00e9locip\u00e8de magazine in Paris, launched the first organized racing competition on April 28, 1887. The total length of the race is 2 kilometers (1.2 miles), starting from Neuilly Bridge and ending at Bois de Boulogne. The winner of this competition was Georges Bouton from De Duon Bouton, but since he was the only competitor present, there was controversy as to whether it was considered a competition.(\u8cc7\u6599\u4f86\u6e90<\/a> )<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
