FAQ
How many different types of car racing are there?

What types of cars are used in racing car?
Speed is the most important factor for any race car driver. Speed is what makes them fast. They must be fast enough to catch up with other drivers, but strong enough to keep the lead. This gives them an advantage as they can catch up to other racers at high speeds and then pull away again from them when they're not looking.
The lightest cars are typically the fastest. This allows them to accelerate quickly, and gain great speed. But this also means that they have less energy, which can limit how far they can travel in short periods of time. They need to make efficient use of energy.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These engines work in a similar way to normal passenger vehicles. These engines run on compressed oxygen, and not petrol. This is because petrol doesn't have enough power to make cars go very fast.
What's the point of car racing?
Car racing is a sport that allows people to enjoy watching their cars speed around a track. It's also an opportunity for drivers to show off their skills and compete against each other.

How To
How to get around corners quickly
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. Doing this correctly will cause everyone to brake, as they won't know what is ahead. You can also avoid collisions with cars coming in different directions. How do you turn fast?
First, you need to know where you're going. You will likely be surprised at where you end up. Plan carefully. To see where you are going at any particular moment, make a map. This may seem like a lot, but it will save you a lot more headaches later.
Next, you should figure out when you're going to start turning. You can start by passing the first corner. Once you have reached the first corner you will know where you want to start. You now need to choose whether you will use the inside or outside lane.
If you are planning to travel in the inner lane, it is best to wait until you see no traffic. If you do this, you will be able to move quickly and without fear of hitting someone. However, once you get into the inside lane you must remain there. Don't allow yourself to drift into the other lane. You might be able to hit someone else who is moving slowly if this happens. You should also keep in mind that crossing the line dividing both lanes could cause your vehicle to lose control and make you vulnerable to crashes.
Once you have chosen the lane, it's time to decide where to turn. There are many ways to approach this problem. Some people prefer searching for a gap within the traffic. Others try to find a clear opening in the road. Others still look for a point at which the road curves round a hill or mountain. No matter what method you use, you must be careful to not block the entire road. Traffic jams can be caused by blocking the entire road.
After you've picked a spot to turn, you need to decide whether you'll be making a sharp left or a gradual curve. A sharp turn will be easier than a gradual. However, it requires more effort and takes longer to complete. It also makes it more difficult to properly steer your car. Many drivers prefer to take gradual turns because of this.
You must accelerate slowly enough to avoid hitting the car in front. Too fast and you will crash into the bumper of the vehicle in front. You can also run off the road if you accelerate too quickly. You'll lose control and your car will crash. You need to gradually accelerate in order to avoid this. You can start with very little acceleration and then increase it when you reach the edge.
You must slow down as soon as you have completed cornering. This is especially true if you're driving in heavy traffic. This could result in you running someone over.
