The World's First Fully Sustainable Race Car

With a vehicle body made from potatoes, a steering wheel made from carrots, the ability to run on waste chocolate and vegetable oil, the 140 mph Environ-MENTAL is the first formula 3 race car designed from materials that are both sustainable and renewable.


Used by the WorldFirst Racing Team, a project of the University of Warwick's UK-based Warwick Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre, the team plans to show the automotive industry that designing and building an environmentally sustainable competition level race car is possible.
