I think I filmed the first American car of the Formula 1 .. I think it's a Scarab Offenhauser of 1960 (4 cylinders engine) It was the first ¿? this is correct?

Well, the Indy 500 was part of the World Championship from its inception until 1960, so technically Indy cars were Formula One cars in that era, so to speak.

thanks for the clarification! but maybe I'm not expressed correctly ... I think I remember reading that this was the first car created entirely in the United States? but I'm not sure :confused: until now I did not know this existed:D
What I meant is that since the Indy 500 was part of the World Championship from 1950 to 1960 all Indy cars could be considered F1 cars even if they weren't built to F1 specifications.
On the other hand, according to [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarab_(constructor)"]the teenagers[/URL], Scarab did indeed build a Formula One car.
