Answer 3

It is in people's nature to compete...they had been racing each other on foot, on horses, camels, cows and on bicycles and other forms of transport for years; it was normal that there should be races organised as soon as there were enough different cars available to compete. It wasn't until the late 1920s that cars began to be constructed specifically for racing, before that they were simply road cars which had been modified (or not, as the case often was). Delahaye and Bugatti were among the very first to produce such vehicles.

The first ever car race was organised by M. Fossier, on April 28 1887 and ran 2 kilometers from Neuilly Bridge to the Bois de Boulogne in Paris...there was eventually only one entrant though, so there wasn't really a "race". The first race to be judged on speed over a set distance, and which had more than one competitior show up, was the 1895 Paris-Bordeaux-Paris Race. A race the year before, from Paris to Rouen, was judged on reliability, not speed.
