The point is not lost on the powers that be in top level motorsport. Several of the team principals in F1 (as well as people in the sanctioning body) and elsewhere have openly recognized that motorsport would benefit by embracing alternative fuel technology and pushing the development of it.
There was already a team that tried bio-diesel at Le Mans and I imagine that there'll be more alternative fuel entrants in the future. Personally I hope that the manufacturers and sanctioning bodies get together and push to get this stuff into motorsport and put in place an incentive for competitors to use it.
For a long time Chan and I have talked about having a 'Green Cup'. Basically a race series for alternative fuels. I don't know if we've ever agreed on a format, at one extreme you could have purpose built racecars like Formula 1, on the other end you could have production econo cars like the Prius and Civic Hybrid. At any rate I think the time for this to come to fruition is at hand.
