Racing doesn’t always have to be about the first car to reach the finish line. In an attempt to promote more green and fuel-efficient technologies, some auto races today prize those cars that have the best results in the “green” department. It means that more and more races will also be judged after the energy efficiency or greenhouse-gas emissions of the racing cars.
The Green Racing Initiave is a group that deals just with that: using the motor sport competitions (because of it’s rapid change in high-tech technologies using) to haste the development of more efficient and cleaner vehicles to latter be used in the public domain. First founded in 2006, they marked their first success at the American Le Mans Series, in October 2008.
