Green MotorSport has joined up with “Team Clyde Valley Racing” as the team’s experts in environmental technology and renewable energy. Green Motorsport will be providing a broad bandwidth of environmental knowledge, as well as researching and looking at high performance alternative fuels for the green motor sport future. By 2010 the Government directive is to have at least 5% of all cars in the UK running on Bio Ethanol. The reduction in emissions will be equivalent to taking 1 million cars off the road! By bringing Bio-Ethanol fuel to the masses and the drivers of the future we can all benefit from the reduction of carbon emissions and the effect on Global Warming.
