Hydrogen Power for Le Mans in 2013

Next year's garage 56 entry.... its ugly.... but further evidance that if you want to see innovation (that isn't aero related) in top-level motor-racing you should look to sportscars:-

I applaud the ACO for their acceptance of new technology - great to watch the development of various concepts.

I wonder how - if at all - the massive air intake might restrict performance at LM. Also, what about the fuel tanks...they need to be massive enough to store the hydrogen, but they look very precarious, and exposed to potential damage in any on/off track excursions.

It's a hammerhead shark with 2,400nm of torque.

Good to see not everyone runs away scared from hydrogen technology. Had the chance to build two cars running on hydrogen fuel cells (low temperature PEM cells, the same this car will be using by the looks of it) the past two years, been a fan ever since!
