What kind of cars are used for racing cars?
Speed is the most important factor for any race car driver. 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 advantage as they can catch up to other racers at high speeds and then pull away again from them when they're not looking.
Lightweight cars are often the fastest. This allows them accelerate quickly and gain 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 very similar to the ones found in passenger cars. These engines run on compressed gas instead of petrol. Because petrol is not powerful enough to give a car enough power to go fast, this is why these engines use compressed air.
How many people are involved in the making of a racecar.
Most race car manufacturers employ many workers.
They manufacture parts such as wheels, tires, suspension systems, body panels, and engine components.
