The WorldFirst Formula 3 race car is powered by chocolate and steered by
carrots but can still do 125mph around corners
Environmentally friendly vehicles conjure up thoughts of a Toyota Prius
hybrid or maybe a vehicle powered by hydrogen fuel cells, but a Formula
3 racing car generally wouldn't be the first thing to come to mind.
This "WorldFirst Formula 3 car" unveiled by researchers at the
University of Warwick might just change that impression�and it's
eco-friendliness goes way beyond the bio diesel engine that drives it.
The racer is powered by chocolate, steered by carrots, has bodywork
made from potatoes and can still do 125mph around corners.
