It depends on what form of racing, the restriction is the rules.
limiting displacement, boost (if even allowed), type of fuel allowed.
The down force package the engineers/crew want to run(depending on the curcuit ). If they require a restrictor plate manditory like super speedways in Nascar. FYI they would easily be running 240-250mph if unrestricted.
Gravity.
There will be friction in various forms. These forms may include among other things: air resistance (hence aerodynamic shape), friction between the tyres and the track surface, as well as internal friction from different parts of the car - engine internals, bearings. Some of this friction is good - like the tyres, others needs to made as frictionless as possible, and lubricants are used to do this.
The shape of the car will create a kind of upside down 'lift', called downforce. This I imagine is to do with the Bernouli (sp) principle (though as far as i know this could be in dispute) among other things.
There will be an element of drag behind the car, 'sucking' it backwards, and again the shape of the car is such that this will be kept to a minimum.
There is also inertia - when the car is going round a corner it will naturally 'want' to go in a straight line. This will be evident by the driver feeling a (ficticious) centrifugal force - he/she will feel like they are being flung to the outside of the car, when in reality they are trying to go in a straight line.
Probably some others but those are the main ones that I can think of just now =)
If you want a constant VELOCITY, then the sum of all forces on the car must be zero. That means that, since there will be a backward force due to friction, the engine must provide a forward force to compensate that.
Some forces which affect the speed of car on track are as follows:- 1.) Friction of air with outer body of car. 2.) Friction b/n tyre and the road. 3.) Gravitational force acting downward.
Downforce, drag, gravity, acceleration/deceleration G's, lateral G's and Yaw.

How do you get out of your car on need for speed the run?
In this game you cant come out of the car, its a racing game.
How does car tuning relate to auto racing?
Car tuning is important for auto racing to get the most performance out of a race car. It can be used to improve the durability, speed, acceleration and traction of a car.
Who set the first land speed record in car racing?
Alexander Winton set the first land speed record in auto racing in Daytona Beach in 1903. His speed was 68.18 mph.
How is maths used in car racing?
It is used in calculating the speed of the car. It also used in monitoring the stats.
What is a speed way?
A car racing course were you race cars around the ground
Is Need For Speed the best racing series?
Grand Turismo is also a great car racing series but I never played need for speed, Grand Tursimo is your best bet.
How does time affect speed?
Time affects speed because if the time is frozen no one can run or a car does not have speed
How do you buy racing cars in need for speed shift?
just buy racing cars:- but where form they are not in any of the car shop things?
Can a mouse beat a car in racing?
No. A mouse is very quick but can not maintain the speed for long. A car will out run a mouse every time.
