Fuel-Cell Car Racing Series Aims To Spur Green Motoring

[Shipkiller]

"The world's first international fuel-cell powered motor racing series kicked off in Rotterdam over the weekend. The organizers hope that 'Formula Zero,' like Formula 1, can become a forum for competing technology as much as anything else, helping green consumer cars to become better."

By 2015, Formula Zero plans to race full-size cars from professional teams. While this first race used a single fuel cell design � purchased from the Canadian firm Hydrogenics, competing teams will ultimately be able to choose their own fuel cells.

I wonder how they will compare in terms of performance to the current cars we race today?

Also that website had a link to the Prius too. Apparently they've sold £1m since 1997, I'm shocked at that amount, I do see them everyday because my neighbour has one, but even still.
