FAQ
What cars are used to race cars and why?
Speed is essential for race car drivers. It's what makes them go fast. They must be fast enough and strong enough not to lose the lead. This gives them an edge over other racers because they can easily overtake others at high speed and then pull away from them when they're not looking.
The fastest cars are often 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 engines work in a similar way to normal passenger vehicles. But instead of using petrol, these engines run on compressed air. This is because petrol can't provide enough power for a car to go fast.
What is a pitstop?
Pit stops allow you to stop driving and let someone else take over for a few minutes. It's also called a pit lane.
What kind of cars do race car drivers use?
Modern-day race cars are usually powered by engines. These engines work in a similar way to normal passenger vehicles.
