Stock car racing has expanded to Mexico and the United Kingdom. There are many types of stock car racing in the UK. Similar to NASCAR, the sport is street legal.

The first stock car racing series in the UK was created in 1954. The first stock cars were modified versions of passenger cars. These cars were modified to be able to withstand racing and came with armour and other features. They were called "special cars" at first, but the word "stock" eventually stuck.

Speedway track was the first place stock cars were used. The chassis was specialized and the bodywork resembled a road car. The cars were also fitted with locked rear axle differentials. This feature allowed the cars to travel at high speeds.

Large displacement homologation vehicles were left unsold after the 1973 oil crisis. NASCAR developed new rules in response. These rules were designed to make cars safer, more equal and more secure. One of these rules was to mandate carburetor limitor plates. There were many other safety measures in place, including mandatory caution flags.


Another rule was to make the cars fuel-injected. Special cars started to appear after a while. Some of these cars used wrap-around spoilers that had ground effect. This marked the beginning of the non-stock sheetmetal.

The Gen 5 stock car was created as a way to increase the number of cars and make the racing series safer. The car was touted as having greatly improved safety features. However, the car was pig ugly and was lacking in performance in traffic. This caused considerable damage for the NASCAR brand.

To replace the Gen 5 a newer car was designed. The Gen 6 was the name of this newer car. The Gen 6 was touted as an improved car. However, it was still not able to save stock car racing. The Gen 5 is still popular, but it's not as widely used as before.

How To

How to corner fast

When racing, you want your car to move ahead of others in order to be faster. This means that you must turn before everyone else. If you do this correctly, everyone behind you will have to brake too. They won't be able to see what's ahead of them. You'll also avoid getting into accidents with cars coming from different directions. How can you corner fast?

You must first understand where you are going. If you don’t know where your destination is, you might end up in a completely new place. This is why it's important to plan well. Make a map of your route so you can see where you're heading at any given moment. This may seem like a lot, but it will save you a lot more headaches later.

Next, figure out when your turn will be. Start by going around the first corner. Once you've passed the first corner, you'll know exactly where you're starting from. You now need to choose whether you will use the inside or outside lane.

If you intend to take the inside lanes, it's best to wait until there are no cars in front of your. This will allow you to move fast and avoid hitting anyone. Once you've entered the inside lane, it is important to stay there. Keep your eyes on the outside lane and don't drift back. If you do so, you may hit someone moving slowly. Remember that crossing the line between the lanes can cause you to lose control of the vehicle, making it more vulnerable to accidents.

Once you've decided which lane you're going to use, you need to pick a spot to turn. This problem can be approached in many different ways. Some people prefer searching for a gap within the traffic. Others will look for a clear opening on the road. Others look for the point where the road curves around hills or mountains. You need to ensure that you don't block the entire road, regardless of what you do. Traffic jams can be caused by blocking the entire road.

Once you have chosen a place to turn, decide if you will be taking a sharp left or a gradual turn. A sharper turn can be more challenging than a slow one. However, it takes longer and requires more energy. It also makes it more difficult to properly steer your car. For these reasons, most drivers prefer to make gradual turns.

You need to accelerate quickly enough to make it possible to escape the car in front. You will crash into the car's bumper if you accelerate too quickly. If you accelerate too slowly, you will run off of the road. You'll lose control and your car will crash. This is why you should accelerate slowly. Begin with very low acceleration and gradually increase it as you approach the edge of the road.

Once you're done cornering, slow down immediately. This is especially true when driving in heavy traffic. Otherwise, you'll risk running someone over.
