The lightest cars are typically the fastest. This allows them speed up quickly and to gain lots of speed. However, they also have less power. This limits their ability to travel far in a relatively short time. This means they have to be efficient with their energy.
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.
