How people use cars in their leisure time: Uses of cars RacingTouringEntertainment Restoration/ clubs Collecting And driving for fun

RACING LOTS OF PEOPLE RACE IF IT’S FOR FUN OR A JOB Racing started soon after the first good gasoline-fuelled cars. The first race organized was on April 28, 1887 by the main editor of Paris publication Le Velocipede, Monsieur Fossier. It was 2 kilometres from Neuily Bridge to the Bois de Boulogne. Georges Bouton won it in a car he had built, but he was the only racer to come so it was not really a race. some racing is done with GT (grand tourers)which are based on road cars, or sports prototypes which are especially made for the race track.GTsports prototypes The best-known type of single-seater racing, Formula one. In single-seater, the wheels are not covered, and the cars often have aerofoil wings front and rear to produce down force and help it stay on the track. There are lots of different race tracks like Bathurst 1000 a 1,000-kilometre touring car race. And the 24 hour le mans race at the Silverstone track

ENTERTAINMENT There are lots of entertainment things for cars like The Frankfurt And Shanghai motor shows witch have new cars and concept cars. They have all the flash brands like Mercedes, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche and well known Ones like Audi and bmw, Toyota And Nissan. There are sometimes car parades and old car auctions Demolition Durby races were car crash car and the last surviving car wins. Drag races are built from scratch and race 400m They are very highly modified and have special engines and fuel. They are long and low and are very fast and can get to top speed Very fast.

WHY I THINK CARS ARE USED FOR LESIRE TIME People go for drives to look at the country side Go to races, join clubs, go to motor shows and Some just play around with their cars in the garage. People go to car shows and sport and food but how do they get there? Hmmm oh of corse cars!
