What types of cars are used in racing car?
Speed is the most important factor for any race car driver. Speed is what drives them fast. They must be fast enough that they catch up to other drivers and strong enough to maintain the lead. This gives them an advantage over the rest of the racers, as they can quickly overtake other drivers at high speeds and pull away from them again when it's not their turn.
Lightweight cars are often the fastest. 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 must make use of their energy efficiently.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These engines are identical to those used in passenger vehicles. These engines use compressed air instead of petrol. This is because petrol isn’t strong enough to make a car go fast.
