In 1950, the FIA generated modifications to make motor racing more competitive and exciting. A brand-new formula, the Formula One was developed. Under the new policies, weight limits were scrapped. Automobile engines might have any quantity of power. It might be a supercharged 1,500 cc or those that could obtain 4,500 cc. There was likewise a Formula Two category for less costly and less powerful vehicle engines. The FIA organized races in a calendar consisting of Italian, French, Belgian, Swiss, Monaco and British Grand Prix. There were thirteen groups consisting of about thirty motorists. Other races out of the championship were likewise placed on the calendar. <strong>An attempt to tame German and Italian dominance</strong> Racing events became organized. As expected, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Ferrari and Talbot kept swiping places. British Racing Motors (BRM) would later on arrive on the car racing scene. The business wased established by Raymond Mays, a racer in the pre-war period. He was sickened by the supremacy held by Italian and German constructors. The two had actually controlled motor racing for two generations. BRM was a respected business whose aim was to stamp British authority in motor racing. The company commissioned Rolls-Royce to develop a supercharged engine with a 1500 cc capacity. <strong>BRMs-- overall failure</strong> Progress on the brand-new car was painfully sluggish. At one point, the winter in Lincolnshire was bitterly cold requiring draughtsmen to wear special gloves. Eventually, 5 years later on, the final product was revealed. It was throughout the British Grand Prix and the automobile ended up being an overall disappointment. 10s of countless fans who consisted of Queen Elizabeth enjoyed in discouragement as it tottered. Absolutely nothing worked even in the later races. The BRM was a total failure. New FIA policies rendered it ineligible. In the same year, 1952, Mays went bankrupt. His company was taken over by its lender. http://www.cartalk.com/ <strong>Mercedes-- better and organized</strong> As BRM faded into oblivion, Mercedes handled to restore its team. With Alfred Neubauer as the team manager, it was not difficult to see how effective Mercedes was.

The Mercedes-Benz workshop truck had every kind of kit a Formula One group would envy. The team's high-speed racing car transporter could, travelling at speeds of over 100 mph, rapidly provide a racing vehicle to and from European circuits. <strong>A winning driver</strong> From 1952 onwards, FIA made it compulsory for Formula One drivers to use crash helmets. This was to later on conserve their crucial driver, Argentinean born Juan Manuel Fangio. The talented and enthusiastic driver handed Mercedes four wins in 1954. That year alone, Fangio won six from 9 championship races. Fangio regulated a great deal of respect amongst his peers. His genius on and off the track paired with coordinating with the likes of Moss led the world to take a bow for Mercedes.
