What type of cars are used in racing cars and why?
Speed is the most important factor for any race car driver. It's what makes them go fast. They must be fast enough that they catch up to other drivers and strong enough to maintain the lead. They can pass other drivers at high speeds, then pull away when they aren't looking. This gives them an advantage in racing.
Lightweight cars are often the fastest. They can accelerate quickly and achieve a high speed. They also have less power, so they travel a lot faster. This means they have to be efficient with their energy.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These engines look similar to regular passenger vehicles. But instead of using petrol, these engines run on compressed air. Because petrol is not powerful enough to give a car enough power to go fast, this is why these engines use compressed air.
What are the different types of car-racing?
There are two types of car racing: closed-wheel and open-wheel. IndyCar (NASCAR), Champ Car, Formula One and other open-wheel races are some examples. Closed wheel races include Formula 3000 (DTM), GP2, etc.
