Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About FIA )〕 The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and vehicles must conform. The Formula One World Championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, usually held on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors. The first World Championship Grand Prix was held in at Silverstone; since then 70 circuits have hosted a Grand Prix. Circuits such as the Nürburgring have hosted Grands Prix using different configurations. The first race at the Nürburgring used the configuration, but concerns over safety meant that more recent Grands Prix have used a shorter, safer circuit. F1 circuits were predominantly in Europe during the early years of the championship, as the sport has expanded so has the location of its circuits. The expansion into Asia and America has been a recent occurrence. Of the 20 circuits that hosted a Grand Prix in , nearly half were not on the calendar before . The Autodromo Nazionale Monza has hosted the most Grands Prix; it has been used as the circuit for the Italian Grand Prix 65 times. The only season it did not host a race was in , when the Italian Grand Prix was held at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari. The Sochi Autodrom became the 70th circuit to host a Grand Prix, when it held the Russian Grand Prix in 2014. The longest circuit to have hosted a Grand Prix is the Pescara Circuit, which hosted the 1957 Pescara Grand Prix. The long circuit in Pescara, Italy, held the annual Coppa Acerbo race; in it was included as part of the World Championship, a race which Stirling Moss won.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pescara Circuit )〕 As some circuits have hosted Grands Prix using different configurations, the most recent configuration used is listed in the table below. ==Circuits== * The "Map" column shows a diagram of the latest configuration on current tracks and the last configuration used on past tracks. * The "Type" column refers to the type of circuit: "street" is a circuit held on closed city streets, "road" refers to a mixture of public roads and a permanent track, and "race" is a permanent facility. * The "Current Length" shows the last distance travelled on past tracks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Formula One circuits」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
