A "Grand Prix" is a major auto racing event, often part of a larger series known as the Formula One World Championship. These races take place on specially designed circuits or public roads and feature high-speed cars that compete for the fastest time. The term "Grand Prix" translates to "great prize" in French, reflecting the prestigious nature of these competitions. The first official Grand Prix was held in France in 1906, and since then, the event has grown in popularity and complexity. Each Grand Prix weekend typically includes practice sessions, qualifying rounds, and the main race, attracting fans and teams from around the world.
