High-tech luxury racing arrives in the space age shape of Mercedes Benz Formula Zero Racer designed by Alan Barrington, George Yoo, and Kevin Verduyn. This lean, mean futuristic racing machine incorporates the thrill of Formula One, the track dynamics of the bobsled or luge, and the grace and efficiency of yacht racing, with some energy efficiency as well.
Designed to be reminiscent of the Mercedes Benz racing heritage of the 1930s, the Formula Zero Racer is technically engineered to extract the maximum thrust from the electric hub motors, aero-efficient solar skin and high-tech rigid sail.
In Formula Zero Racing, the concept is that each team is allocated the same amount of stored energy and it is left to the teams and drivers to manage the variables to win the race. The winner will then be determined by total elapsed time combined with the energy efficiency factor.
Future spectators at the Mercedes Benz Formula Zero Racing Series will be treated to a new dimension of racing, as the transparent track is visible from all perspectives. Sounds a lot less carbon emission intensive than traditional Formula One Racing.
