racing-car
Formula One vehicle
A racing-car is a vehicle designed or modified specifically for competitive racing rather than ordinary road use.
The hyphenated form is more common in British English; Americans typically write race car or racing car as two words.
Racing cars are engineered for speed, handling, and performance: The racing-car driver took the corner at 120 miles per hour.
