ScienceDaily (2009-10-08) -- Can the idea of "green motorsport" actually work? Yes, according a U.K. researcher who led the research team which designed and built the world-first fully sustainable Formula 3 racing car, which runs on biofuel made from chocolate and animal fats.
"But it's not just an environmentally friendly car, it is also fast. The car has a top speed of 135 mph, can achieve 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and is turbo charged to give it more torque."
This car is outstripping the competition! With a steering wheel made from carrot pulp, a recycled-resin and carbon fiber and woven flax body, this vehicle is fast and ferociously sustainable. The idea behind the project, spearheaded by Dr. Kirwan at the University of Warwick, was to advocate "being sustainable and green..." and it "can be incredibly sexy, fun and fast." Let's root on this green machine at the Formula 3 Championship on October 17th.
