FAQ

What speed can a race car accelerate in a straight line?

A lighter car can accelerate faster than a heavier one, for instance.
What cars are used to race cars and why?
Speed is the most important factor for any race car driver. It is what makes them go fast. They must be fast enough and strong enough not to lose 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.
The fastest cars are often very light. This allows them to accelerate quickly, and gain great speed. However, this also means they have less power which limits how far they can travel in a short amount of time. Therefore, they must use energy efficiently.
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. This is because petrol isn’t strong enough to make a car go fast.

How To
How to start racing abroad

Some countries, for example, prohibit drivers from taking overtaking at any location on the road. Other countries only allow overtaking when entering a roundabout. Some countries require cars that make a certain sound when they enter or leave a roundabout. It is a good idea to check the regulations of each country before you travel overseas. You won't be issued a ticket by the police for violating the law.
