This collaboration allows Warwick students to work on a <strong>Le Mans Prototype Class 3<\/strong> ( <em>LMP3<\/em> ) racing car, designed to break speed records, while promoting sustainability in the automotive industry. <\/p>\n\n<p>The Waste2Race is no ordinary vehicle. It was assembled in Leeds by <strong>Ginetta Cars<\/strong> , using spare parts that were destined to be thrown away. The team has worked to integrate sustainable materials into multiple parts of the car, including \u201c <em>a wing mirror made from sugar beet waste<\/em> ,\u201d and \u201c <em>a steering wheel made from 100% bio-based materials<\/em> ,\u201d designed by the <strong>National Composites Centre<\/strong> .  <\/p>\n\n<p>In addition, the <strong>car&#8217;s propulsion system<\/strong> has been adapted to run on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/fuel-cell-electric-car-tested\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"196689\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hydrogen<\/a><\/strong> , a process that involves &#8220;modifying the supercharged V6 engine&#8221; to make it compatible with this green fuel. This development has been made possible through collaboration with <strong>Clean Air Power<\/strong> , a company specializing in custom injectors for hydrogen vehicles. <\/p>\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/embed\/feed\/update\/urn:li:ugcPost:7251615524348997634?compact=1\" height=\"399\" width=\"710\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" title=\"Embedded post\"><\/iframe>\n\n<p>The students have actively participated in the <strong>construction of the Waste2Race<\/strong> , gaining valuable experience that will be important in their future careers in the motorsport world.
