I just posted an interview with Greg Offer of Imperial College, who is developing a fuel-cell-powered racing car that can accelerate faster than a Porsche. Might be of interest to members of this group.

Thanks for the new topic Matt. Your link leads us back to the E&ET page, however. Where could one read your interview?

Here it is, on the London section of the site. -
Hey everyone,
I just found an interesting organization that I think is doing good for the planet, and I’d like to know what you think.
They’re taking a racing concept (which is usually the worst polluting form of sporting and entertainment) and green-ify-ing it by requiring that the cars be 100% zero emission. Plus, they make sure the entire “circus” that revolves around the race is as low-polluting as possible. And, on top of that, they give back to the communities they visit by hiring local foster youth to work the events.
Is it too good to be true? First and foremost, I’ve never heard of a 100% zero emission race before. When I think of racing, I usually think of NASCAR and F1 vehicles that are competing to learn who can burn the most fossil fuel the fastest. If it is legit, it seems like an interesting endeavor.
Check them out. What do you think?
