It is hard to imagine a more thrilling sporting event than the olympics car race. Rio de Janeiro hosts the world's most exciting car races. Drivers come from all corners of the globe. This event is different because the medals weren't the traditional gold and silver or bronze medals. Instead, winners received gold vermeil awards. The second and third place drivers were only given silver plaques, which signified their speeds of over 60 km/h.

Interlagos speedway Brazil
The Interlagos speedway has an oval track. It was originally designed for a half mile track. The circuit covers a massive 2.2-mile area and has a number of different terrains. The track features a banked final turn, challenging camber changes, and a snaking in-field section. The course can also be used for road cycling races.
It's been a very short time since the track had its first official GP race. From 1981 to 1989 the Brazilian Grand Prix was hosted there. Senna was a big fan of Formula One and helped to promote the venue. She also managed renovations and was a consultant to track changes. The track was reduced from 7.874 to 4.325 meters. This made it a great venue for the Olympic cars.

What types of cars are used in racing car?
Speed is the most important thing to any race car driver. Speed is what makes them fast. They have to be quick enough to catch up to other drivers but also strong enough to hold on to the lead. This gives them an advantage over other racers as they can overtake others at high speeds and then pull away from them again when they're not looking.
Most of the fastest cars are very light. This allows them to accelerate quickly and gain a lot of speed. However, this also means they have less power which limits how far they can travel in a short amount of time. They need to make efficient use of energy.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These are similar to those found in normal passenger vehicles. These engines use compressed air instead of petrol. This is because petrol doesn't have enough power to make cars go very fast.
