There are very strict formulas or rules about how racing cars are built. Formula One cars’ size, shape and petrol tank are all governed by rules, so that every race is fair.
Amazing! Although go-carts are much smaller than other racing cars, they can reach speeds of up to 250 kph! Carting is very popular among young drivers, and many Formula One stars, like Michael Schumacher, used to race carts.
Is it true? Modern racing cars have wings.
Yes. They are at the front and back of the car. A racing car’s wings are carefully designed to stop the car from taking off. As air passes over the wing, it pulls the car down on to the track. This gives the driver better control and roadholding.
What’s an Indycar?
Indycar racing takes place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in America. They have powerful engines and huge fins.
Which cars race for 24 hours?
Sports cars race around the Le Mans circuit in France for 24 hours. Two or three drivers take turns at the wheel to drive the car as far as possible.
