Most of the fastest cars are very light. This allows them to accelerate quickly, and gain great speed. However, this also means they have less power which limits how far they can travel in a short amount of time. Therefore, they must use energy efficiently.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These engines are very similar to the ones found in passenger cars. These engines are powered by compressed air, instead of petrol. This is because petrol doesn't have enough power to make cars go very fast.

How To
How to turn fast
In order to go faster in a race you need to get your car out from the way of other cars. This means that you need to turn before others. You will make others behind you brake if you do it correctly. You'll also avoid getting into accidents with cars coming from different directions. So, how can you turn quickly?
First, you need to know where you're going. You will likely be surprised at where you end up. It's why planning is so important. You can make a map of your route to help you see where you are at any moment. This may seem like a lot, but it will save you a lot more headaches later.
Next, decide when you want to turn. Start by going around the first corner. Once you've passed the first corner, you'll know exactly where you're starting from. You will now have to decide whether or not you'll use either the inside or the exterior lane.
If you plan to use the inside lane, wait until there is no traffic ahead of you. You'll then be able move quickly and not worry about hitting anyone. It is crucial that you stay in the inside lanes once you are in them. Do not allow yourself to drift back into the outside lanes. You could hit someone moving slowly if you do. 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've chosen which lane you will use, you can choose where you want to turn. This problem can be solved in many ways. Some people prefer to look for a gap in traffic. Others try to find a clear opening in the road. Still, others look for a point where the road curves around a hill or mountain. No matter what method you use, you must be careful to not block the entire road. Traffic jams will be created all over town if you do this.
Once you have decided where you want to turn, it is time to decide if you'll make a sharp right or a gradual left. A sharp turn will be easier than a gradual. However, it takes longer and requires more energy. You may also find it difficult to control your car correctly. Most drivers prefer gradual turns for these reasons.
Finally, you need to accelerate just enough to escape the car in front of you. You will crash into the car's bumper if you accelerate too quickly. 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. Begin with very low acceleration and gradually increase it as you approach the edge of the road.
You must slow down as soon as you have completed cornering. This is especially true when driving in heavy traffic. Otherwise, you'll risk running someone over.
