Watch the most exciting car races in the world

(Baonghean.vn) - Speedy, beautiful but also dangerous, racing competitions around the world bring many emotions to fans. Whether motorbikes or bicycles, these races always attract the attention of a large audience on each route the cyclists go through.

Tour de France

The Tour de France is considered the world's largest annual cycling race, watched by millions of spectators. Held in France and neighboring countries, the race has captivated audiences since 1903, except for the war years when it was suspended (it was not held from 1915 to 1918 and from 1940 to 1946).

The 3,600km route, which takes three weeks to complete, includes both uphill and downhill routes. Not only that, the endurance of the riders is also tested by the fact that it takes place during the hot summer. The Tour de France attracts riders and teams from all over the world every year.

The women's Tour de France (Grande Boucle Féminie Internationale) with much shorter stages was started in 1984. In the media, this race was completely overshadowed by the men's race.

Cycling to conquer the world's highest mountain in Nepal

The annual Yak Attack cycling race started in 2007. In 9 days, the racers have to overcome a 400 km long race course with rocky and snow-covered terrain, especially having to cross the world's highest gorge, Thorong La at an altitude of 5,416 m.

Formula One

Formula One is the highest level of racing for cars. Originating from street races in France in the early 20th century, the race was officially recorded in Silverstone (England) in 1950. The name "Formula 1" represents a series of technical requirements that racing teams and drivers must comply with. Since its inception, these factors have changed continuously to suit the development of technology, as well as to increase the attractiveness of the race.

Every year, two championship awards are given to the racing team and the driver. The current world record holder is Michael Schumacher with 7 championships, including 5 consecutive championships from 2000-2004. Ferrari is the team with the most championships. The racetrack is built in separate areas, or right on the street like in Monaco (France), this is also the most important race of F1.

GMotoGP racing

MotoGP 2015.

If F1 is most famous in the open-wheeled car segment, MotoGP (Grands Prix) is best known in the world of motorcycling. The speed in MotoGP is not less than on the F1 track, but the attraction can be even more, because the image of each corner hugging the ground, avoiding the wind and accelerating that the racers draw is much more "adventurous" than F1. MotoGP originated from racing tournaments held on the Isle of Man island between England and Ireland.

After World War II, the international motorcycle organization FIM (Federation Internationale De Motorcyclisme) organized the race that was the predecessor of today's GP.

24 Hours of Le Mans

This is the world's oldest car race, organized annually by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) on the Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans (France) since 1923.

The name 24 Hours comes from the fact that the racing teams have to race continuously for 24 hours, and each team has only 3 drivers, each driver races for at least 2 hours before changing drivers.

The race is really tough for both the drivers and the racing teams, requiring the racing cars to be able to withstand working under great pressure continuously for 24 hours without any problems.

Isle of Man TT

Isle of Man is an island in Ireland, where the main road of the island is very dangerous with many blind corners and narrow roads. The Is of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) is held once a year for two weeks, the last week of May and the first week of June.

Racers average 200 km/h but there is no safety space on both sides of the track like MotoGP, instead there are towering cliffs and houses.

Recently, 43-year-old Japanese racer Yoshinari Matsushita died in the Isle of Man TT qualifying round, becoming the 240th person to die. That is why this is considered the most fierce race on the planet, even more than MotoGP.
