The turns of a track are usually sloped (banked). This allows the cars to turn at higher speeds since they are less likely to slide.

How does wind speed effect cars?

Wind speed can affect cars by creating aerodynamic forces such as drag and lift. Higher wind speeds can increase resistance on the vehicle, leading to reduced fuel efficiency and potentially affecting handling. Strong gusts of wind can also make driving more challenging, especially for taller or lighter vehicles.


Why do race cars have curved tops?

I reckon it is for aerodynamics so the car can have more speed and stay on the track.

Which cars offer a top speed in excess of 200mph?

There are many cars that have a top speed in excess of 200 mph. For example, some stock cars fall into this category. The 200 Mph Club and Road and Track provide details of the performance of many cars such as the Jaguar and McLaren models of high performance vehicles.


How fast can two toy cars race down a ramp?

It depends on the ramps slope. if it was straight down, the cars would fall down the ramp at the speed of gravity, which is 9.8 meters per second No. Gravity is NOT speed, it is acceleration. In the absence of air resistance, the car would accelerate at a speed of 9.8 ms-2


How do roller coasters roll?

They roll on small wheels. :) The cars are pulled (or pushed) to the top of the first hill on the track. Traditionally it is pulled to the top by a chain in the track that is driven by a motor on the ground. The first hill is always the highest point on the track, thus the cars can "coast" down the rest of the track. If one of the later hills were higher than the first hill, then the cars would not be able to coast to the top of the higher hill. When ever the cars go down, they gain enough speed to coast to the top of the next hill.


How do formula one cars reach their top speeds?

F1 cars never really get up to their absolute top speed as even in qualifying, they wouldn't get to their max speed. To get to high speed at tracks like Monza and SPA during a qualifying race weekend session. Low downforce with aero stream can help to get a F1 car to it top speed at the track. For off track, it those with a long enough road bearing in mind tyres can explode and to have enough fuel to get to speed without effecting performance.


When you speed does it wear tires down faster?

Yes. Tires get hotter when speed is increased causing more wear. Example- Racing car tires wear out very quickly because of speed combined with high heat. Indy cars and cars used in Nascar may only get a few laps before needing changing. Addition: The effect isn't as drastic on passenger tires but speed does effect wear.


How fast will Nascar let you go on pit road?

It depends of the track. Short track like Bristol or Martinsville, the speed limit in 45mph because the pit lane in narrow and the cars are closer to each other.
