This site refers to the racing cars that were participating in motorsports
events


AUTO RACING

One of the main characteristic of human nature is competition. Many people
compete in athletic games or races in order to earn glory or to prove something.
One athletic field is Motorsports, which is is the group of competitive events
which primarily involve the use of motorized vehicles. Motor racing is the
subset of motorsport which involve competitors racing against each other.1

Auto racing (also known as automobile racing, car racing or motorcar racing) is
a motorsport involving the racing of automobiles for competition.2

An Auto racing championship has five main participants:

 * Official Authorities: All racing championships have Official Authorities that
   build Technical regulations with rules and constrains for all vehicles
   intended to race. World official authority for Auto Racing is Federation
   Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA)3. FIA sets some certain specific
   criteria according some Technical Regulations, and certifies that a
   particular racing car matches those criteria. This certification is a
   "license" that is called Homologation. Generally, Homologation is the
   granting of approval by an official authority.
 * Manufacturers can build a complete vehicle, or the engine of the vehicle
   alone. A large amount of components can be produced by independent
   manufacturers.
 * Cars: An automobile, autocar, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle
   used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or
   motor4. A Sports car is a small, usually two seater, two door automobile
   designed for spirited performance and nimble handling5, and can runs in
   competition events.
 * Drivers that can drive the racing vehicles are the sportsmen or sportswomen
   as in all sporting activities of humans.
 * Others, of course all competition activities of a motor racing championship
   is nothing without Spectators! All the championships are supported by fans
   and spectators who watch and, finally, help technology to grow.


CARS AND HOMOLOGATION

Any car that is intented to participate in Motor Racing, must be checked whether
it follows certain specific criteria as noted before. Once it is approved, any
driver can officially participate in any National and International Auto racing
event using the approved (homologated) car.

Approval or Homologation in Motor racing has the following characteristics:

 * it is written on a "Homologation paper"
 * every vehicle has a unique "Homologation Number"
 * general technical specifications and modifications for the specified car are
   presented in it
 * additional technical modification updates are also allowed to be added in
   later time, and they are called "homologation extensions"

FIA is responsible for World Racing Events that were and are taking place in all
over the world. Some kinds of racing championships are run in open roads, in
conditions such as gravel, tarmac or snow, such as Rally Championship or Sports
cars Championship or Touring cars Championship. Since '70s Sports cars and
Touring cars championships were no longer run in open roads due to safety
reasons. All other events are taking place in closed circuits with much higher
safety, but with higher speeds.

There are several categories of Racing Cars, with open or covered wheels, that
can participate to an "open road" or "closed circuit" motor racing championship.
All categories that have limited modifications allowed, must have specific
production numbers of identical examples made, and some restrictions on
modifications that can be made to improve its performance. Usually, all racing
cars are modified to, or are initially built as Sports Cars, meaning that only
one or two seat/doors are necessary. All cars are built by manufacturers.
