Scientists in sense of humour shocker – the Formula 3 racing car that runs on chocolate
The Formula 3 racing car is capable of reaching top speeds of around 125MPH despite being composed of a medley of vegetables. The steering wheel is created from a polymer derived from carrots and the bodywork is a mixture of starch and flax fibre. Even the steering wheel lubricants are plant based.
Best of all is the fact that it runs using a biodiesel engine which runs on fuel extracted from chocolate and vegetable oil.
