Crown Formula (also known as Formula 1 or CF1) is a class of single-seater auto racing and is the highest class of racing sanctioned by the International Motorsport Association. Crown Formula has been one of the premier forms of racing around the world since its inaugural season in 1950. A Formula season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, which take place worldwide on both purpose-built circuits and closed public roads. Most events occur in rural locations on purpose-built tracks, but several events, most notably the Rio Palito Grand Prix take place on city streets.

Formula cars are the fastest regulated road-course racing cars in the world, owing to very high cornering speeds achieved through the generation of large amounts of aerodynamic downforce. The cars allow wide front and rear wings, and wide tyres, resulting in peak cornering forces near 6.5 lateral g and top speeds of around 350 km/h (215 mph).
