Professional racing is fast becoming one of the most popular sports in America and is gaining popularity throughout the world. Although there are many types of racing to choose from, among the most popular in America is Formula One racing or F1 racing for short. During these F1 races, sports cars, sponsored by advertisers, speed around either a closed-circuit track or a closed-off street track. On an annual basis, the top drivers compete in the World Drivers' Championship or the World Constructors Championship.This sport that began a hobby for the 'privileged' few has reached mass appeal. Formula One racing is no longer an international sport dominated by Europeans in Italy. Teams from the United States and the UK are making names for themselves in international F1 championship races.To demonstrate the popularity that F1 racing has, one need only look at the interest in the World Championships. Over 200 million people worldwide will watch this event on television or view it in person. The popularity of F1 racing is only rivaled by the love of soccer as a sport.
