Eco Factor: Racing car made from sustainable materials.
We’ve seen some concept racing cars which might change the way racing events are actually organized. While some of them took racing too seriously, there are others who plan to make race cars from materials no one could ever imagine. The WorldFirst F3, as the car has been named, is the brainchild of Warwick Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre, and is designed to take part in Formula 3 Racing, and that’s where the conventions end.
In the name of sustainability, the steering wheel of the car is made from carrots, the seat is made from soybeans, the body is made from potatoes and its designed to run on bio-fuels including vegetable oil and chocolate. Carrying emission-destroying catalysts, the car is strikingly able to clean the surrounding air as it drives.
