Honda Hybrid Rally Car “Too Fast” To Race
Who says hybrid cars need to be slow? A Honda Insight Hybrid Rally Car has been banned from racing in the Formula 1000 because it was deemed “Too Fast.”
The vehicle, issued by Oaktec Team Racing, dominated the competition so brutally during time trials that officials believe it is unfair for the team to drive it during future events. No word on exactly what top speed the car hit.
Oaktec boss Paul Andrews said that, “It was a bit of a shock when I got the call as after six years of hard work we finally had our chance for a bit of glory. But I fully understand the perspective of the organizers and their wish not to spoil the sport for the other drivers. Formula 1000 is a great championship and they were really supportive by allowing us to compete with these new hybrid technologies in their rallies and we always agreed that if we had a clear advantage we would step aside.”
