The Romans absorbed chariot racing from the Etruscans and quite possibly from the Greeks in southern Italy. Those two ethnic groups are known to have had chariot races and it was the first Tarquin king of Rome (who was said to be Etruscan although this is being questioned) established the outline for the Circus Maximus. Where/when the races actually began before the Romans participated is shrouded in time.
