Already short time after the invention of the automobile by Karl Benz in the year 1886 developed also the engine and/or autohaven. Such meetings and later also complete running series were at that time the same aim, as today: The different manufacturers wanted to present themselves and show the public that their cars fastest and at the same time most reliable were. In addition those helped running to win new realizations with which the development was facilitated by series vehicles, whereby again the quality of the automobiles increased rapidly. First running were remote trips from city to city. First of their kind started 1887 in Paris and had Versailles as a goal. The distance amounted to 32 km. 1895, 8 years later, took place first organized running, which Paris had as starting point, to Bordeaux led back and again.
The winner of this 1st Grand Prix was called Émile Levassor. This running was a milestone for the petrol engines, which reserved the first 8 seats before the steam-claimant cars. Its first disaster experienced the engine haven to 24. May 1903 with the passage Paris - Madrid, when it came to a heavy collision, with which 5 running drivers and 3 spectator mortally had an accident. That was the end of the city city remote trips. After this running safety precautions were intensified, which regulation intensified and which on round courses moves venues. On 22 June 1903 Ardennen running so called delivered, which, as the name already says, by which Ardennen led, became 6 times to drive on and was long 85 km. Winner was times Frenchman: Pierre de Crawhez.
Only in the course of the time genuine racing courses, how e.g. 4 km long Indianapolis Speedway were built, on which 1911 found the first 500-Meilen running Indianapolis instead of. Also the development of the racing cars preceded. The classifications of the racing cars were at first with very easily, easily and heavily. With the time then running series developed like the route car championships, the Nacar Series, up to the formula series.
The history of the automobile began already 100 years before our time calculation, when a machine was developed, which contained the basic elements of the today's automobile engine. Creator of this simple and at the same time ingenious invention was the Greek Heron of Alexandria. It made a cylinder, into which it filled water and led a piston inside, which it held owing to a counterweight in the Schwebe from above. Under this construction it ignited fire, which heated the water up. Due to steam resulting from it the piston moved up and after steam cooled down again, the piston went again downward. On this principle also steam engine and combustion engine are based. Unfortunately became at that time, as so often uses inventions, which should not win wars and facilitate work on fields in the history of mankind.
Thus this innovative development of sinking and it disappeared drew nearly 2000 years in the country, until the Englishman Richard Trevithick for the first time developed 1801 a steam-claimant car, which may be valid by definition also as „automobile”. 1839 developed then Robert Anderson one the first electric vehicle, 1860 finished Etienne Lenoir the first gas engine ready for operation, before Nikolaus August Otto submitted 1876 a patent for the four-stroke engine so called. And on 3 July 1886 then the development of cars began with combustion engines, which are comparable to today's time with those, when Karl Benz placed the first automobile of this kind completely.
Due to the high (and also today still valid) requirements at cars, which range and speed concern, the petrol engine became generally accepted as only logical consequence, which became completely fair these requirements and still becomes today.
In the year 1886 finished Karl Benz and God-dear Daimler (by Wilhelm Maybach) as it were synchronously your prototypes. The vehicle of Daimler was a Postkutsche with inserted engine and without horses. With the vehicle of Benz however it concerned a tricycle and looked themselves like a riksha without roof and pedals. Benz was it also, which manufactured automobiles in series starting from 1894. Shortly thereafter, in the years 1888 and 1889 Siegfried Marcus let itself its first car build. It concerned thereby an automobile which was propelled by a gasoline four-stroke engine and which essential components of a modern car aufwieß. At the same time work also Albert F. muttons on the completion of his car. Likewise 1888 it finished then a car with zweizylindrigem engine.
Shortly before incipient crack of the turn of the century it created Camille Jenatzy with its car „La jamais Contente” as first humans with a vehicle operated over the wheels to drive faster than 100 km/h. The researchers and inventor knew thus, which potential is still in the cars. And the people recognized the large use of these vehicles. In the USA 1900 altogether 4,192 automobiles were finished placed by 75 manufacturers. Among them were 1,688 steam automobiles, 1,575 electric vehicles and 929 vehicles with petrol engine.
Mercedes served simplex at that time practically as template for almost all other models, because its essential structure was used also by the competition. There were reasons for it many: The simplex was stable, that internal area could be arranged relatively generous and not least looked it also well. Even a cash hit at its time, Ford model A from the year 1928, reminds still very strongly at Mercedes the simplex
