race cars
Lap-running machines
Race cars are vehicles designed or modified specifically for competitive racing rather than ordinary road use.
They prioritize speed, handling, and aerodynamics over comfort or practicality: The race cars lined up on the starting grid.
The term covers everything from Formula 1 machines to stock cars to dragsters.
Also spelled as one word: racecar—notably a palindrome.
