Motor racing has long been considered one of the great past times of not just America, but even more so across the world. The sport of motor racing came to fruition in Europe before it ever made headlines in the United States. The golden age of motor racing and the decade that was most responsible for first thrusting the incredible sport was the 1950s. It was during this time that some of the greatest auto manufacturers first introduced their luxury brand of cars on the popular scene. It was during this time that names such as Ferrari, Mercedes, and Maserati began introducing the first true racing cars.
