When Did Cars Start Racing?
People have loved racing for a long, long time, even before cars were invented! But when cars came along, racing got even more exciting. The very first car races happened way back in 1895 in France. Imagine cars that looked like fancy horse carriages, but with engines! These early races were bumpy and slow compared to today, but they were the start of something amazing.
