Fuel-Cell Car Racing Series Aims To Spur Green Motoring

Anonymous Cow writes "The world's first international fuel-cell powered motor racing series kicked off in Rotterdam over the weekend. The organisers 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."

I'm not sure that six tiny fuel-cell powered go-karts going around a 500 meter track is going to help the image of alternatively-powered vehicles.

People aren't going to take green technology seriously until it wins in rally or 24 hour le mans or somethign similarly awesome to win.

Or until Jeremy Clarkson uses one to ride over a delicate ecosystem.

but could they carry gas anyway?

I'm ok with them using fuel cells just so long as they also include some manner of flammable liquid in the vehicle so that they keep the wrecks interesting.
