Now that looks like a step in the right direction. Encouraging alternative fuels and power sources instead of penalising the only available methods.

will this not be unfair to those who do not have much funding?

Isn't that true of top level racing generally?

true though I see they are trying to make it more even - quote:

Yep - various categories, from no-expense-spared through to small-scale stuff.
I read elsewhere that some of the bikes may be VERY fast, as they only need to run for just under 40 miles.

So they only have to last one lap? or one run? Will they have to make one or several runs and do they get a set turn around time inbetween to refuel
or recharge their relevant fuel cell?
sounds promising..

1 lap, as far as I can tell - which in itself is quite a challenge.
