I don't follow motorsport. What class of cars are those? Or maybe I should ask what kind specifically?

Indycar (you could have reverse-searched the image as well)

Modern IndyCars, a North American open-wheel series. They're basically less advanced F1 cars but with larger engines and less downforce. They're the fastest racecars around oval circuits, reaching speeds of 240 mph or more. The series, once even more popular than NASCAR in America, has been declining in popularity since the early 90's after it split into the IRL, which mainly ran on oval circuits, and CART, which mainly ran on road courses. The series came back together in the early 2000's but has yet to regain its popularity. Currently Chevrolet and Honda build engines and bodies for the cars while Dallara builds the chassis.

Formula E is a series which debuted last year and is run by the FIA (who runs various other motorsports as well) which features all-electric open-wheel race cars and is mainly run on city courses.
