NEW HYDROGEN-FUEL-CELL SERIES ANNOUNCED FOR 2023
An all-new environmentally friendly hydrogenpowered racing series has been unveiled ahead of a projected launch in 2023, featuring “zeroemission” cars and a “revolutionary braking system”. Announced in August, the HYRAZE League will use “environmentally-produced” hydrogen as fuel for its 800bhp fleet of cars, using two hydrogen fuel cells to power four electric motors.
Together with crack German powerhouse HWA, the series has been formulated in partnership with German manufacturer Schaeffler, plus organisations ADAC, DEKRA, DMSB and the
World Esports Association (WESA).
The series aims to free up chassis design, albeit mandating composite structures from natural fibres as opposed to carboncomposite monocoque structures.
The braking system is aimed to capture any brake dust produced during a race distance, and will be disposed of post-race in an “environmentally neutral” way to minimise any air pollution produced by particles.
Aerodynamic developments will be managed to reduce costs and boost the racing spectacle.
