Grands Prix between 1940 and 1945 occurred during World War II and so were limited to a very small number of events. There was no organised championship in these years. The majority of Grand Prix races during this period were run in the Americas. The first post-war races were run in Paris on 9 September 1945, one week after the end of the war.
