What is the GreenGT H2?

There's a continual drive for efficiency and reduction in energy usage in motorsport, and this - the GreenGT H2 - could very well solve a problem. It's a hydrogen-powered endurance racer taking the 'Garage 56' project at next year's Le Mans 24 Hours. And it produces no tailpipe emissions whatsoever.

Contrary to what government scientists would have you believe the planet needs carbons, this hydrogen powered racer is a fantastic piece of technology but it won't help the enviroment.
Has no one noticed the change in weather since 1992, more volcanic eruptions dealing out ash clouds, more bush fires, the bloody rain, the planet is trying to compensate for tax related Carbon reductions !!, but governments can't make a U turn because they'll have to admit how wrong they've been...........

It`s OK, but how do I carry my ladders?

How much Co2 was used to make the hydrogen in the 1st place, if any.

freakin sweet looks like the batmobile

"hydotasic" .now all we need to do is go to the ring of fire ,use geotheral energy production of hydrogen for free ,(bar the costs of plant ,and the planet is saved .

I wonder how they're packing so much hydrogen into such a small package? By my schoolboy science knowledge 12.5 kg of hydrogen even at about 500 bar is still 10x larger than petrol. So if they're limited to 76 litres rather than some mass in kg then they'll end up with about 10 minutes of running between refuels.
Or are they going to bend the rules again to make another green car look good?

So think on this readers, I'm of an age when I can remember seasons (spring, summer, autumn & winter) and volcanoes spewing out lava and fire and smoke billowing out of factories and coke works and not 1 car with a catalytic convertor, see people have been brain washed by goverment scientists who tell you what the governments want you to hear, it used to be called propaganda ..............................

I'm sure some of the residents around Silverstone would appreciate silent cars. Even though racegoers may not like it. Something whistling by your ear when you are unaware of its approach, can be quite startling. Perhaps they should give it a sound. How about a Toni bell ice cream jingle. Any more suggestions.

I bet it does when it goes up in flames !!!!!!!

"it produces no tailpipe emissions whatsoeve." Front or side exhaust?!!!
manufacturing and transport emission?!!!
Like the toyota hybrid, goes round the world to manufacture before get to you. Saving emission after became point less

Why does the system think that every comment I make contains a link, or is spam?
Except this one apparently!
17/08/2012 20:26
It's probably because hydrogen fuel cells produce much greater efficiency.
17/08/2012 15:45
At this years Le Mans race the Ferraris made the sweetest sound followed by the Porsches. Who cares about fuel - saving in motor racing. Make 'em faster, not more economical.

Where do the golf clubs go?
