A team from Warwick University in the U.K. has designed an eco-friendly racing car that could run on chocolate and vegetable oil. WorldFirst hopes their car, the ecoF3 will contribute to new materials technology used in motor racing.

According to the Johannesburg Star newspaper and the Jalopnik website, the prototype car has a steering wheel made of carrots, bodywork made of potatoes and a seat made of soybeans. Fibres extracted from the vegetables are mixed with resins and recycled products to form the components. The car gets its fuel from chocolate and other plant-based materials that are refined to produce the vehicle's fuel and lubricants. The ecoF3 is based on a standard Lola chassis and can reach more than 200 km/h and corners as well as any other racing car.

Formula Three will not allow the car on the track because regulations do not permit the fuels, but a spokesman for the team's backers said they hoped: "Formula One teams will see that an environmentally friendly car is not necessarily a slow car."
