History of Car Racing
According to historian Richard Hough, "It is clearly impossible to distinguish between the designers of sports cars and Grand Prix machines during the period prior to 1914.
The late Georges Faroux always argued that sports-car racing originated in the first 24 hours." The Le Mans race in 1923, and as a joint-manufacturer of that race may be prejudiced in his opinion, it is certainly true that sports-car racing as it was known after 1919, did not exist before the First World War.
Similarly, during the 1920s and 1930s road sports/GT cars began to differentiate themselves from fast tourers and sports cars, even though they were primarily road-going. vehicles derived from or developed. Pure-bred racing cars dominated races such as Le Mans and Mille Miglia.
At a national level rather than international racing, sports car competition in the 1950s and early 1960s tended to reflect locally popular cars, cars that were locally successful and often competed internationally in each country.
