Nascar and Formula 1 racing aren’t exactly what you think of when you think of Green Cars. Now “green” is moving into the racing world with the development of the Worldfirst Formula 3 racing car designed and made from sustainable and renewable materials, putting the world first by effectively managing the planet’s resources.

Warwick Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre (WIMRC), part of Warwick University in the UK, is the developer attempting to prove to the auto industry that it is possible to build a competitive racing car using environmentally sustainable components.

Scott Racing Ltd supplied the calibration for the WorldFirst 2 Litre diesel engine, which enable it to run on Biodiesel derived from waste chocolate and vegetable oil. The car is full of innovative sustainable features like a steering wheel made with carrot fibers, side mirrors made with potato starch and cashew shells in it’s brake pads!
