FAQ
What type of cars is used in racing cars, and why?
Speed is essential for race car drivers. It is what makes them go fast. They must be fast enough to catch up with other drivers, but strong enough to keep 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.
Lightweight cars are often the fastest. They can accelerate quickly and achieve a high speed. However, this also means they have less power which limits how far they can travel in a short amount of time. So they need to use energy efficiently.
