Chocolate Powered Race Car To Debut At Brands Hatch
At Brands Hatch in Kent a chocolate-powered car will make its debut and race away at 170 mph.
Titled the Formula Three Car this chocolate-powered race car is like no other, it has a steering wheel made from recycled carrot waste, body panels made from old airplanes, a recycled BMW diesel engine, and goes from 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. Wowza!
In test drives, the car has already reached a top speed of 135mph. At Brands Hatch, the engineers hope to achieve 150mph. At race speed, the car manages a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon.
The chocolate-powered car will be racing for the first time at Brands Hatch in Kent on October 17th. Check your local listings for showtime.
