What cars are used to race cars and why?
Speed is the most important aspect for any race car driver. It's what makes them go fast. They must be fast enough to catch up with other drivers, but strong enough to keep the lead. They can pass other drivers at high speeds, then pull away when they aren't looking. This gives them an advantage in racing.
The fastest cars are often very light. 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. They must make use of their energy efficiently.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These engines are very similar to the ones found in passenger cars. These engines use compressed air 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.
