00:00Ready, set, go!
00:02Wow!
00:04Oh, it's yellow!
00:06Nice one, Kuya Chris!
00:08Wow, it's exciting to race a car.
00:12Yes, imagine if it's a real car that's racing.
00:16Yes, Kuya Chris, I'm really curious.
00:18Kuya Chris, how is the racing of cars popular?
00:22Good question, Ate Shia.
00:23And that's the first question we'll answer this morning.
00:25Let's go.
00:27Let me test your knowledge in sports, iBelievers.
00:32Janet Guthrie was an aerospace engineer before she became an athlete.
00:36Do you know what her sport is?
00:40The answer is automobile racing.
00:44Janet Guthrie was the first woman to qualify for the Indy 500.
00:48Good job!
00:50And the question we'll answer about race car driving.
00:55When the car was first invented, there was already car racing.
01:01The first race took place in England in 1867.
01:05Steam-powered vehicles were used back then and the racetrack was only eight miles long.
01:12In the U.S., the first car race took place in 1895.
01:16It was a 54-mile loop around Chicago.
01:20It took almost eight hours to reach the finish line.
01:23And the fastest car ran for almost seven miles per hour.
01:27Unbelievable.
01:30It was talked about.
01:31Trending!
01:33That's why many were excited about car racing.
01:38In 1903, car racing became popular in Milwaukee Mile, the oldest operating raceway in the U.S.
01:45Wow!
01:49At first, only ordinary cars were racing.
01:54But in the 1930s, lightweights with supercharged engines and only one driver became popular in Europe.
02:06Meanwhile, in the U.S., cars were also upgraded.
02:10Not only for racing, but also for the illegal sale of alcohol.
02:15Really?
02:16Between 1920 and 1933, alcohol was prohibited in the U.S.
02:21But even then, there were some who secretly sold alcohol.
02:26And they were known as bootleggers.
02:32To escape the police, they used small cars.
02:36These cars were built to be faster and not to be chased by the police.
