What type of cars are used in racing cars and why?
Speed is the most important factor for any race car driver. It's what makes them go 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 as they can catch up to other racers at high speeds and then pull away again from them when they're not looking.
The lightest cars are typically 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. They must make use of their energy efficiently.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These engines work in a similar way to normal passenger vehicles. These engines use compressed air instead of petrol. This is because petrol can't provide enough power for a car to go fast.
