The Paris–Bordeaux–Paris race of June 1895 has sometimes been described as the "first motor race", despite the 1894 event being decided by speed and finishing order of the eligible racers.
Where was the first motor race held?
In 1895 the first true race was held, from Paris to Bordeaux, France, and back, a distance of 1,178 km.
What is the oldest motor race in the world?
The French Grand Prix, which returned to the Formula 1 calendar in 2018 after a 10-year absence, is the oldest grand prix in the world. How can we be so sure? Simple: it hosted the first-ever motor race, way back in 1906, the first international event ever to be labelled a grand prix.
