FAQ
What is the difference between racing and road cars?
Road cars can be driven on public roads. Race cars are specifically designed for competitions like car racing. They are aerodynamically designed to help them accelerate and brake quickly.
What type of cars is used in racing cars, and why?
The most important thing for any race car driver is speed. Speed is what drives 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 as they can catch up to other racers at high speeds and then pull away again from them when they're not looking.
The lightest cars are typically the fastest. This allows them to accelerate quickly and gain a lot of speed. This also means that they have less power, which restricts how far they are able to travel in a short time. This means they have to be efficient with their energy.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These engines are identical to those used in passenger vehicles. These engines run on compressed gas instead of petrol. Because petrol is not powerful enough to give a car enough power to go fast, this is why these engines use compressed air.
