The world's first car race 125 years ago ....

-

The first car in the world was made in Germany in 1879. The car was designed by Karl Friedrich Benz, an industrialist with a single-cylinder, two-stroke engine powered by gasoline. Was an engineer. With the introduction of this car, some people became very excited, but others feared that it could cause serious accidents on the road. Soon after the introduction of the car, some people in France came up with the idea of ​​holding motor racing competitions. Their argument was If it is possible to race with horses, how can it not be possible to race with cars?
The world's first car race was held on June 13, 1895.
Only a handful of cars competed in the world's first motor racing event, with a top speed of only 20 kilometers per hour. The first idea for the world's first motor racing event came from a French businessman and engineer.

They owned a car dealership in Paris, and Emile Levassor and Rene Panhard hoped to promote their business by running the race. There have been numerous articles about the race, and some websites have reported that a car race was held in the United States in the same year, but it is worth noting that many articles mention the French race.


Emile and Renee have long been business partners and were the first to attempt to manufacture cars in France. Although Daimler cars were actually sold, the engines were of their own design, and the Panhard-Levassor engine was considered to be of higher quality than the German engines.
The two business friends arranged for their car race to take place from Paris, France to another area, Bordeaux, and competitors were required to drive their cars from Paris to Brodo, and then back to Paris. The total length of the road was 730 miles and the maximum speed of a car at that time was 20 kilometers per hour.


Accordingly, it was expected that it would take at least two days to run the entire distance and finish the race.

The organizers invited several Reporters to cover the race, hoping to create publicity about automobiles and create great excitement among the public about the new product.



In 1891, Emile introduced Daimler to a high-quality car, the first of which introduced the technology of front-mounting the engine. He was credited with producing the car we see today that is no longer horse-drawn. The duo also improved the transmission system and made France the world's number one carmaker.


Emil drove their two-cylinder, 750 rpm engine, which they designed to compete, and easily won the race, 11 hours before the next car, the Peugeot. However, Emil later finished second on technical grounds, and the Peugeot was declared the winner. 



 Recognition of superiority was more important than victory in the race. About 10 people were killed in car crashes, steam boilers installed in vehicles exploded, damaged and cut due to difficult roads with thin rubber tires.



The Paris-Brodo-Paris rivalry between the two countries helped to elevate the automobile industry, as well as to establish the famous French Automobile Club de France and to produce new manufacturers. Subsequently, many people began to organize such car races, laying the groundwork for the launch of Formula One, the world's number one race, or the Grand Prix.

Canned beef

   A French animal rights group has criticized a video of French researchers using a porthole-like cannula to access cows' stomachs.  The stomach of a cow is made up of four complex systems called the rumen (reticulum) (omasum) and (abomasum).  Doctors use this device to transfer rumin fluids from one cow to another.  The enzymes and digestive acids in cattle break down the food that is actually digested. Rhombus is the part of the body that is involved in the second process of digestion of food previously consumed.  Digestion occurs.  But why do people use a device like a porthole to enter a cattle ranch?  Scientists say that cannulaing provides direct access to a cow's stomach, improving the digestive health of millions of animals and reducing the use of antibiotics.  They also say that this is a surgery that is usually performed under general anesthesia and that they live longer than normal cows once the animal has recovered.  But ani...

Why do wolves make a "hoo" at the heart?

Wolves have been our favorite animal since we were little.  And that's something we know.  That wolves make a "hoo" to the full moon or to the rising moon at night!  But something we all do not know.  "Why do wolves do that?"  If so, today's story is about that.  There are many myths associated with wolves and the moon.  These stories vary from country to country and I would like to cite below one of the most famous of these stories.  According to one Greek story,  Long ago, there was a close bond between wolves and spirits in the past.  Because of this bond, these souls are able to talk to them,  "Empowered to speak with spirits."  Because of this power wolves began to talk to spirits every day.  People got to know about this after talking for a long time like this.  So people who are obsessed with this power are wolves ..!  "We too have been asked to give us the power to speak with souls."  But...
