Unless you are an aficionado of racing cars, there is a good chance that you have not heard of Formula D Racing. Formula D has its followers of course, yet it is still not as commonly known as the other kinds of racing like Formula One, Drag Car Racing, NASCAR or Cross Country Rallying. This is partly because it is a pretty new form of car racing.

If you would like to get into some form of motor sport, yet are completely horrified by the costs involved, perhaps you have overlooked go kart racing. All right, nothing is cheap anymore, but go karting is relatively cheap in comparison with its far more expensive cousins like Formula One, Formula Drifting, NASCAR and Cross Country Rallying. You can get into go kart racing as a spectator, as an investor in a team or as part of an active team as a mechanic or driver.

The Daytona 500 is money-wise the biggest stock car racing event on the NASCAR racing calendar and it is also distinctive for the fashion that drivers have to qualify for a starting position in it. The Daytona 500's exclusive qualifying process was designed by the pioneer of NASCAR, Bill France, who also wrote most of the other rules and regulations governing the sport in the present day. He had two main objectives for changing the rules for the Daytona 500: firstly, to boost income from the race because the venue for the Daytona 500 is so expensive and secondly, to better prepare the drivers by making them have to meet the criteria under racing circumstances.

The NASCAR car racing competition was a mega event that started in 1947. The contest included drivers from across the nation and the track selected for racing was uneven and rough. The stock cars were not capable of handling the pressure of the race so they were modified according to the NASCAR rules. The modifications were gradual but now these racing cars are nothing like the ones on the street.
