But in fairness, this event was to test and try out concept, and not to promote "Green"

As the technology on electric cars is older then petrol, and the bugs have been worked out on things like regenerative braking, and energy conversion, I think they should have a "Storage Battery" run this is where the need is, the rest has been done by our forefathers in the year dot.

but hats off to all that toke part,
