Open-Wheel Racing

Open-wheel racing is the first thing that comes to people’s minds when they think about car racing. This is the pinnacle, the top rung of the whole shebang, as Formula one (F1) and Indy Car are included in this category. As the name open-wheel implies, the cars that race in this series have drivers sitting in open-top cars, while the wheels are exposed. While open-wheel vehicles that compete in F1 and Indy Car may look similar, these racing series have different rules, guidelines to follow, performance, and tracks. 

There are a few major differences between F1 and Indy Car, like where the series race. Indy Car races on ovals and road courses, while F1 only races on road courses. Other differences include fuel type, location, top speed, aerodynamics, and budget. When it comes to fuel, F1 cars use high-octane gas, while Indy Car uses ethanol. F1 is a global series with races taking place all over the world, while IndyCar races predominantly take place in America. F1 cars create far more downforce than Indy Cars, which allow them to take corners at higher speeds but give them lower top speeds. Lastly, F1 teams recently agreed to a budget cap of $145 million in 2021, which will then drop to $140 million in 2022 and $135 million for 2023-2025. The budget for Indy Car is far less, hovering around $20 million. 

F1 stays open-wheel because F1 began open-wheel. ... If the F1 rules actually allowed closed-wheel / closed-cockpit designs, competitors would switch immediately, for better aerodynamics and for driver safety.  An open-wheel car (formula car, or often single-seater car in British English) is a car with the wheels outside the car's main body, and usually having only one seat. Open-wheel cars contrast with street cars, sports cars, stock cars, and touring cars, which have their wheels below the body or inside fenders.

Open wheel racing is alot more tense because any contact has the opportunity to end both their races since contact with the wheel can very easily turn into suspension damage. In closed wheel racing, it isn't as tense since close contact will most likely be with the wheel fairing which won't cause as much damage since it isn't connected to the cars suspension and less likely to end that car's race.
