A Warwick University team has created an F3 car from sustainable materials. Using potatoes for the body, carrots for the steering wheel, and fueled by chocolate.

“The racer isn’t legal to race in the F3-series as chocolate-based fuels aren’t on the approved list of energy sources, but that’s not the point. The WorldFirst team is trying to prove green-racing doesn’t have to mean boring-racing. They’ve used recycled materials in combination with fibers and extracts of fruits, vegetables and plants to create composites, materials and lubricants along the same vein as carbon fiber, plastics, and oil. It’s based on the standard Lola chassis and despite the eco-friendliness, the car will still hit 145 MPH and corner like the real deal.”
