An Exploration of the Cars and Chronographs Connection

They say that the first auto race happened about five minutes after the second car was built, and there was probably an obvious winner (heck, the first “official” US auto race only had six starters, and two finishers). But progress begets parity. Before long, the cars started to get closer to one another in terms of performance and the drivers’ relative talents became more and more important to ensuring victories – but talent is a tough thing to eyeball.

One would think that people interested in cars would eventually pick up on this sort of thing, but I probably expect too much. Carry on.
