The championship started in Great Britain, Silverstone, passing through tracks which became over time a point of reference for all racing-maniacs: Silverstone, Monaco, Indianapolis, Spa, Monza.
The championship battle has been in between two drivers, Nino Farina and Juan Manuel Fangio.

The only victory of another driver has been in Indianapolis, where Johnnie Parsons won, leveraging the monster engine his Kurtis Kraft bolide had: Offenhauser engine, built by American specifically for hyper fast tracks.
