FAQ
What type of cars are used in racing cars and why?
Speed is the most important aspect for 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.
The lightest cars are typically the fastest. This allows them speed up quickly and to gain lots 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 are powered by compressed air, instead of petrol. This is because petrol isn’t strong enough to make a car go fast.
Where does race car driver training take place?
Race car drivers learn to drive by using different methods. Most start off by learning how to drive a regular car. Next, they will move onto a simulator. A simulator can be described as a virtual reality computer gaming experience. You can control a vehicle by sitting in a room.
You'll then be able to apply your knowledge in real life. You will be taught how you can maneuver around corners, and turn sharp curves.
You'll then be able compete against other drivers.
Are there rules about how a racecar should look?
No. No.
But they must adhere to certain safety standards.

How To
How do you start racing in another place?
First, locate a local team to practice and win. Due to the differences in driving laws, racing in other countries can prove very challenging. 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 that cars make a specific sound when entering or exiting a roundabout. Before you travel abroad, it is important to study the laws in each country. This will ensure you don't get a ticket for breaking the law.
