Green tech in ‘Formula Zero’ race
The world’s first international hydrogen-powered motorsport race was held in Rotterdam this weekend.
Dubbed the Formula Zero championship, the contest pitted teams from five countries against each other in a zero-emissions go-kart race.
Each team’s entry was powered by a commercial fuel cell that produces electricity from hydrogen.
A Dutch team won the endurance event, while a Spanish team clinched the award for fastest lap.
Peak power
Founded by Dutch motorsport enthusiasts Godert van Hardenbroek and Eelco Rietveld, Formula Zero is already recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, the world’s motorsport governing body.
The championship consisted of several events, with teams from the UK, US, the Netherlands, Spain, and Belgium competing for the top honour: zeroth place.
The events included a sprint race, won by a Spanish team called EuplatecH2 with a lap time of 36 seconds. In the endurance event, the Greenchoice Forze team from Delft University took the zeroth place on the podium.
