This article will provide information about the inspection process, Next Gen race cars, restrictions plates and the future NASCAR. Learn about the cars' technology and performance, as well as where to buy them. The next generation NASCAR racecars will be made out of carbon fiber reinforced polymer, which will be used for the Talladega Superspeedway and Daytona.
Next Gen cars will be made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic
The seventh-generation NASCAR vehicle specification has been developed. Many teams expect the Next Gen car to make greater use carbon fiber and have an all composite body. Instead of the traditional structure of a body-on frame, the Next Gen car could be constructed with a tub of carbon fibre. Both materials are stronger and lighter that sheetmetal.
Next Gen cars will more closely mimic production cars than ever. Toyota Camry will no more be wrapped in stickers making it appear as a four-door. In fact, the car will be symmetrical. This will allow for more side force as the driver's sides will protrude farther than the passengers', creating more side force. Officials at NASCAR hope these cars will draw a younger crowd to the sport.
Talladega and Daytona superspeedways use restricted plates
In 2019, NASCAR will use restrictor plates at both its Talladega and Daytona supersphearways. The two superspeedways are 2.66 miles long and 2.5 miles long, respectively. They were both added to the NASCAR circuit in 2004 and 1988, respectively. Both were previously off-limits to stock cars because of their speed limits, but NASCAR changed that in 2018.
Restrictor plates were originally plates with intake holes. However, they weren't perfect. Actually, their holes changed over the years. Then, NASCAR teams started playing a cat-and-mouse game to find a competitive edge. Its simple design meant it was susceptible to scratches and other defects. A taper spacer was invented to address this issue. Originally used only at Daytona, the taper spacer has since been tested at other tracks, and has not affected driver-to-driver performance.
Inspection
NASCAR has tightened control of the inspection process for cars involved in its races. Officials will crack down on any team that breaks the rules in order to give everyone an equal chance of winning. While the cars will not be subject to many inspections, officials will be busy during the race for two days. They will work until the last car is loaded. Here's a closer view of the inspection process used by NASCAR to inspect cars.
Next year's process consists of three stations: engine, templates/LIS and chassis. The latter will house eight projectors and 17 high quality cameras. This station will assess skew, weights and body conformity. Each scan will come with a color code. Additional inspection may be needed in certain areas. The new inspection procedure for NASCAR cars will take place on two tracks.
Future of NASCAR
The Future of NASCAR remains a hot topic. But who is the next big star to drive Cup cars? Will it be a female driver or a minority? The decision to include women on the driver's roster has been met with controversy. That is the question that will be answered by the next generation. For example, a NASCAR team with a woman would have more diversity than one with a man.
NASCAR's foreign race car drivers will demand that the metric system be adopted and used kilometers instead mile per hour. Pit crews will add fuel to electric cars and young professional drivers will race plasma powered hovercars on other worlds. It will be a completely new sport by that point. So, what can we expect for the Future of NASCAR? Let's take a look at some of these challenges.
FAQ
What is the purpose behind car racing?

F1 Grand Prix, the fastest car racing. F1 is the name given to the top level of motorsport competition. It includes 10 teams from around the globe. Each team is supported by 2 or 3 drivers.

How To
How to begin racing in another country
First, find a local club to practice your skills and compete. Driving in foreign countries can prove difficult due to different laws. Some countries prohibit drivers from overtaking at any point along the road. Some countries restrict overtaking to entering a circle. Some countries require that cars emit a distinctive sound when they enter and exit roundabouts. Researching the regulations in each country is the best way to make sure you are safe when traveling abroad. This way, you won't get a ticket from the police for breaking the law.
