Performance
Continued from Page 1

Getting technology out to the general public that would make their performance cars fast and fuel-efficient is the end game for F1. Freeing up millions of dollars—$200 million in one season—spent on engine development puts a whole lot more money in the green technology pot and could bring more funding to small groups working on the same solutions outside of the racing industry.


Formula 1 is not completely altruistic in moving toward fuel efficiency. If an oil crisis occurred, Mosely said, there could be major problems for F1. Politicians looking for points could shut down F1 racing as a waste of fuel. However, if the racing community has become a think tank for green technology, it would help to give them a green image and reduce their fuel-consumption impact.
