1930 Grand Prix season
Previous: 1929 Next: 1931

The World Manufacturers' Championship was planned on seven races, with European Grand Prix and other two mandatory; four races (Germany, Spain, Great Britain and Italy) were cancelled, another (France) was raced with sport-cars regulation. Moreover European Grand Prix was shorter than the minimum of 600 kilometres. For these reasons, the championship was cancelled. In the late summer AIACR started to work on the new European championship which would begin in 1931.

gollark: Anyway, good password hashing algorithms are designed to be hard to parallelize, and to require large amounts of memory, so that they're hard to implement on FPGAs/ASICs/GPUs and run fastest on general-purpose CPU hardware (this is what your server has).
gollark: Basically!
