What is an "open-wheel car"?
An open-wheel car is a type of race car where the wheels are exposed and not covered by a body or wheel guards. This design allows the car to be lighter and more aerodynamically efficient, improving speed and handling on the track. Open-wheel cars are commonly used in racing series like Formula 1. They are built for high-speed, precision driving, with a focus on performance and control. The lack of bodywork around the wheels makes these cars more vulnerable to damage during collisions but contributes to their distinctive and fast design.
