formula one

Formula one announced it is going to run on specially manufactured green tires in the upcoming Japanese grand prix. This is the latest move in trying to move formula one into a more green position. Next year they are looking at regenerating hybrid devices.

It’s not quite the same type of hybrid drive-train you’d see in street vehicles, but in an exciting announcement, Max Mosely of F1 has announced that all cars will become hybrid by 2013, along with other changes to the vehicles.

In the hypercompetitive world of Formula 1 motor racing, the only thing greater than the level of technology is the money spent developing it, and a lot of that money is about to be invested in green technology that will appear in cars the rest of us drive.
