FAQ

What's the difference between a race car and a road car?

Road cars are designed for use on public roads. Race cars are specifically designed for competitions like car racing. They feature aerodynamic features which allow them to brake and accelerate quickly.


What cars do racecar drivers use?

But instead of using petrol, they run on compressed air.


Where do race car drivers get their training?

Different methods are used to teach race car drivers how to drive. The majority of race car drivers begin by driving a regular car. Then they move onto a simulator. A simulator acts as a virtual reality gaming console. A simulator allows you to control a vehicle from a place in the room.

This will enable you to compete against other drivers.


Which car race is the fastest?

How To

How do you start racing in another place?

First, you need to locate a local club that allows you to practice and compete. Because of the different driving laws in other countries, it can be difficult to race. Some countries do not allow drivers to pass at any other point. Others allow drivers to overtake only when they enter a roundabout. Some countries require cars that make a certain sound when they enter or leave a roundabout. Before you travel abroad, it is important to study the laws in each country. This way, you won't get a ticket from the police for breaking the law.
