Summary
In this course They will learn specific racing vehicles, their homologation regulations
and constructional solutions of individual parts. Race cars are specific road vehicles
designed for motorsport. The categories of motorsport have special rules and technical
regulations and constructionally are different. In motorsport, the focus is on the safety
of the crew, which also corresponds to the design solution of individual category of
racing cars.
