What is "open-wheel car racing"?
Open-wheel car racing is a type of motorsport where drivers compete in cars that have exposed wheels, meaning the wheels are not enclosed within the body of the car. These cars are typically lightweight, aerodynamically designed, and built for speed. The races are often held on closed tracks, which can include both oval and road circuits. Open-wheel racing is known for its high-speed action, precision driving, and technical complexity, as the cars are built for agility and quick maneuvering. The most famous open-wheel racing series is Formula One, but there are other series like IndyCar and Formula E that also feature open-wheel cars. This type of racing requires a high level of skill and experience, as the cars are sensitive to handling and require precise control at high speeds.
