Race Team Open Wheel
Open wheel refers to single-seater racing cars where the wheels are exposed outside the bodywork, as opposed to enclosed-wheel sports cars and touring cars. Formula 1, IndyCar, and Formula 2 are the premier open-wheel categories globally. The design philosophy prioritises aerodynamic efficiency and weight distribution, making open-wheel cars the fastest accelerating and cornering racing vehicles in most conditions.
