Should the reader find anything incorrect or doubtful, please let me know.
I will certainly take a good look and make changes as needed, to be included in a revised edition.

Event and Circuit Names
Original names of events and circuits have mostly been translated into English but this rule was not
very strictly followed. In cases like Lyon/Lyons, Marseille/Marseilles, Reims/Rheims and Livorno/Leghorn, the French and
Italian language was adopted here. On the other hand, Napoli, Roma and Torino have been changed into Naples, Rome and
Turin. The Avusrennen and Eifelrennen have remained in their German language.
The Events
listed here are the known races where grand prix cars participated up to 1949, covering also Formula Libre and
club events. Originally this list contained some handicap races, details are shown in the September 2002 update, but now
handicap races are ignored, also events held solely for touring cars, sports cars, voiturettes, cycle cars, as well as winter/ice
races, sprints, mountain- or hillclimbs. The 1906 Taga Florio for touring cars is not shown. The town-to-town races of
the pioneering years 1895 to 1903 for the heavy car class are incorporated in this list, although the 1906 French GP is
considered to be the first grand prix race. At some events the two-seated heavy car race was amalgamated with 'Voitures
Légères' - light cars - , voiturettes and four-seated cars races. Voiturettes, light cars and four-seated cars had on few
occasions defeated the heavy or two-seated cars, equals to the GP cars. This happened at the 1902 Paris-Vienna race and
the 1910 Targa Florio. The outright winner is shown, coming from a minor car category instead the first two-seated heavy
car. In some races before 1901 motorcycles, tricycles and quadricycles were the overall winner, beating the bigger cars
due to their better power to weight ratio. They are not shown here but instead the fastest, usually two-seated heavy car,
which resembled the swiftest racing machine at the time.
There are three race categories of different significance as shown in the following example from the year 1906:
| 1 - GRAND PRIX de l'A.C.F. | Le Mans: | 1 - The Grandes Épreuves are in bold capitals and shaded in blue. |
| 2 - Ardennes Circuit | Bastogne: | 2 - Other major events are in bold print. |
| 3 - Eliminating Trials | Long Island: | 3 - All other races are in regular print. |
Grandes Épreuves
The A.I.A.C.R. (Association Internationale des Automobile Clubs Reconnus) founded on June 20, 1904,
at a meeting of the International Automobile Clubs in Homburg (Germany), formed an International Sporting Commission
(CSI) as sub-organization of the AIACR on December 7, 1922 at the General Meeting of the AIACR in London, in conjunction
with festivities of the Royal English Automobile Club's 25-year anniversary, introducing the rules for international
Grand Prix racing. There were 15 Nations represented: USA, Belgium, Denmark, Great Britain, France, Holland, Italy, Cuba,
Norway, Austria, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Spain, and Czechoslovakia. The elected CSI member countries were Austria,
Belgium, France, Great Britain, Italy, Spain and USA. The Commission met still the same day for the first time, appointing
as President the Belgian René de Knyff, who carried out this position until 1946. He was succeeded by the French Augustin
Pérouse.
CSI membership changed over the years. At the May 5, 1925 AIACR meeting in Paris, the German Automobil Club
was readmitted into the Federation. At the November 15, 1925 Paris AIACR conference, it was decided that Germany
should be represented in the CSI. Switzerland became a full CSI member, entitled to vote, in October 1929. Besides introducing
international racing regulations, the CSI also drew up every year the international racing calendar. The most important
races were designated as preferred international events, called Grandes Épreuves (great trials), which were given the privilege
in regards of fixing dates, encompassing the below listed Grands Prix for racecars. The Tourist Trophy after 1922 was only
for sports cars (SC). In 1928 and 1936-1937 the French GP was an automobile race for sports cars (SC).
| French GP | 1923 -1927, 1928 SC, 1929 -1935, 1936 -1937 SC, 1938 -1939, 1947 -1949. |
| Italian GP | 1924 -1926, 1931 -1938, 1947 -1948. |
| Tourist Trophy | 1923, 1928 -1938. |
| Indianapolis 500 | 1923 -1940, 1946 -1949. |
| European GP | 1923-1928, 1930, 1947 -1949. |
| Belgian GP | 1931, 1933 -1935, 1937, 1939, 1949. |
| San Sebastian GP | 1925. |
| British GP | 1926 -1927, 1948 -1949. |
| Spanish GP | 1927, 1933 -1935. |
| German GP | 1931 -1932, 1934 -1939. |
| Monaco GP | 1933 -1937, 1948. |
| Swiss GP | 1935 -1939, 1947 -1949. |
In 1946 three major GP races were added to this list with the sole objective to determine "My Driver of the year". These
additions were the 1946, St. Cloud GP, Grand Prix des Nations and the Turin GP but these were never officially nominated
Grande Épreuve events.
European Grand Prix
At the AIACR meeting on December 7, 1922 in London, Italy suggested to hold annually a Grand
Prix of Europe. The plan was accepted. The execution of this race for 1923 was to be done by Italy at the circuit of Monza
in the first half of September. France was to execute the Grand Prix of Europe in 1924. The country which had to organize
the Grand Prix of Europe shall not hold another international Grand Prix during the same year.
|
| | 1923 - Italy (Monza) | 1928 - Italy (Monza) |
| 1924 - France (Lyon) | 1930 - Belgium (Spa) |
| 1925 - Belgium (Spa) | 1947 - Belgium (Spa) |
| 1926 - San Sebastian (Lasarte) | 1948 - Switzerland (Bremgarten) |
| 1927 - Italy (Monza) | 1949 - Italy (Monza) |
Amongst the Grandes Epreuves, the European Grand Prix held special status in some of the World Championships during
the Twenties where it was a mandatory event. See also: World & European Championships, below.
Major events
From 1924 to 1937, there were between 19 and 37 GP races every year. For an annual overview it is not
desirable to mix the major events with the lesser club races. Grandes Épreuves and events of great publicity, as well as races
where some of the main contestants met for competition, are considered major races. On an annual basis, races with a similar
degree of importance had to be found and the more important ones were then marked as major grand prix races. This list
contains over 740 races, in which grand prix cars participated.
Driver of the year
For above list only, the most successful driver, at times not necessarily the best, was determined annually.
The 50's scoring system was applied for simplicity instead of the complex 1935-1939 European Championship procedure.
But the European Champions are shown in 1931, 1932 and from 1935 to 1939, since points awarded in these championships
were based on the results in the Grandes Épreuves only.
World Championships
were held as early as the Roaring Twenties, using a simple point scoring system. Only the first
three of six championships for manufacturers actually took place. Alfa Romeo won in 1925, Bugatti the following year
and Delage in 1927. During the succeeding three years the World Championship was always cancelled at year's end. To
qualify for the 1928 championship, the rules required contestants to participate in at least two of the seven planned races.
Since only one event was held to the formula, the championship was null and void. The A.I.A.C.R. cancelled the 1929 World
Championship in October that year after an European Grand Prix had not taken place and holding that event was obligatory
to authorize the championship. From the seven Grandes Épreuves planned for 1930, only one was held to the formula.
The A.I.A.C.R. commission decided at year's end not to award the title. Some overenthusiastic statements in contemporary
publications proclaimed Robert Benoist as the 1927 World Champion and Louis Chiron as the 1928 and 1930 European
Champion. This, of course, is total nonsense since the World Championships were for makes, not for drivers.
European Championships
In 1931, the A.I.A.C.R. finally introduced a European Championship for drivers. Without
winning a single event, Ferdinando Minoia on Alfa Romeo became European Champion, narrowly beating his teammate
Campari, ending his driving career, which had started in 1904. The unusual 1932 European Championship was for
manufacturers and single drivers, both competing with each other for points. Only the best placed car of a factory team counted,
regardless of who was driving. Alfa Romeo won, with Tazio Nuvolari second as the European Champion of the drivers,
followed by Borzacchini, Caracciola, Dreyfus and Officine Maserati in sixth place.
The European Championship of drivers from 1935 to 1939 is better known. Rudolf Caracciola was champion in 1935,
1937 and 1938, Bernd Rosemeyer in 1936 and Hermann Lang usually is quoted for 1939. This 1939 title is rather doubtful,
since the A.I.A.C.R. never issued any official results or awarded the title that year. When applying the previous years'
scoring system to the 1939 results, H.P. Müller would have been the rightful 1939 champion. But Lang was undeniably the
fastest driver that year, having won also two minor Grands Prix. The neutral Swiss AUTOMOBIL-REVUE reported that
to score points for 1939 either a new French Plus or the old German Minus system was to be applied. After the
conclusion of the Swiss GP, the A.I.A.C.R. obviously had this dispute not yet settled and the new European Champion was not
known. This created an unprecedented, totally absurd situation in the history of world sports: the assessment of a
championship was to take place not before but after the conclusion of the series. A settlement was then planned for the October
conference "at the green table" but this never happened since the A.I.A.C.R. in Paris could not meet with the world at war
since 3 September. Consequently, in December of 1939, Korpsführer Adolf Hühnlein, head of the NSKK-Nazis, who
simultaneously was also President of the ONS (Oberste Nationale Sportbehörde) in Germany, declared Lang as the
European Champion. After racing had stopped in September, at the onset of WW II, the ONS had revised the system to make
Lang champion with 23 points. How exactly the scoring system was altered to carry out this injustice remains a mystery.
The ONS, a national German motorsport controlling force, did not have the authority to decide on any of the European
Championship outcomes but did so nevertheless in 1939, totally ignoring international agreements. To announce the
European Champion was an international matter and only the A.I.A.C.R. could decide on it and award the title in Paris.
Acknowledgements and updates
It would not have been possible to complete this list satisfactorily without the help of some individuals.
I am indebted to several persons for their assistance and extend my gratitude to all of them. Also an
abundance of books and several magazines have been consulted to assemble this list. Most helpful were A Record of Motor
Racing by Gerald Rose, Grand Prix Racing, Facts and Figures by Georges Monkhouse, and A Record of Grand Prix and
Voiturette Racing, Volume 1 to 4 by Paul Sheldon with Duncan Rabagliati, Yves de la Gorce and Jean-Maurice Gigleux.

 Dec 2000 | The majority of Finnish races were supplied by Leif Snellman who also suggested the addition of some
of the early races. Not only did he write the code to make these pages look so good but made it possible to display this
list on his popular homepage.
From Darren Galpin's gigantic lists I have adapted
with thanks one race each in 1899, 1936, 1939 and two races each in 1938, 1941.
The huge 6th Gear race list was very helpful to compare notes.
Phil Harms lists of the American races are also excellent for comparison.
Tony Kaye gave very helpful advise and came up with information about the South American races during the forties.
