There are various types of race
cars that take to the track during the season. These can vary from stock cars,
formula one car to those that run on dirt tracks. Each car has different
features, design and set ups to allow them to handle efficiently and fast for
the specific track or conditions that they are racing in.
Stock Cars
Stock cars are able to run either
on a dirt or asphalt track, which is normally set up in an oval shape. The
cars, according to the rules, have to be the original vehicle, meaning that
they have not been specifically engineered for racing. The car can be altered
to make it more suitable for racing by adding various features. One example of
this is the spoiler that is often put on the front of the car, which makes it
more stable and helps to prevent a roll over.
Formula One Car
These vehicles are engineers
specifically for high speed racing, featuring a body that is set low to the
ground and that is aerodynamic to reduce drag. They have an open cockpit for
the driver. These cars can reach speeds up to 220 miles per hour, making them
the fasts race cars around. The driver relies heavily on electronic systems to
help keep the car under control.

apart for these races based on their set up, such as how the cylinders are
configured, the overall capacity of the engine and materials used in building
the vehicle. They are lighter in weight but carry a higher speed level than
many other types of race cars. When they race, measurements are taken of how
fast the racer went, the time it took to go from start to finish and its
reaction time at the beginning of the race.
