What type of cars is used in racing cars, and why?
Speed is essential for race car drivers. It's what makes them move fast. They need to be fast enough for other drivers to catch them, but strong enough so they can 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 usually very lightweight. This allows them speed up quickly and to gain lots of speed. But this also means that they have less energy, which can limit how far they can travel in short periods 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 run on compressed oxygen, and not petrol. Because petrol is not powerful enough to give a car enough power to go fast, this is why these engines use compressed air.
