You put it in the Tick(float DeltaSeconds) function.

First you have to OVERRIDE the Tick function in your header file because you inherit it from AActor class.

CarGamePawn.h

virtual void Tick(float DeltaSeconds) OVERRIDE;

Then simply implement it in your source (.cpp) file.

CarGamePawn.cpp

void ACarGamePawn::Tick(float DeltaSeconds){
	Super::Tick(DeltaSeconds);
	// do your things here
}

Just to elaborate on the Tick function a bit.

This function is called every frame. The parameter that is passed in called float DeltaSeconds is the amount of time that has passed since the last frame… and since Tick is called every frame it is also the amount of time since the last call to the Tick function.
