What types of cars are used in racing car?

Speed is essential for race car drivers. It is what makes them go fast. They have to be quick enough to catch up to other drivers but also strong enough to hold on to 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.

The lightest cars are typically the fastest. They can accelerate quickly and achieve a high speed. This also means that they have less power, which restricts how far they are able to travel in a short time. They need to make efficient use of energy.

Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These are similar to those found in normal passenger vehicles. These engines run on compressed oxygen, and not petrol. This is because petrol can't provide enough power for a car to go fast.
