Honda FCX Clarity pace car headed to Grand Prix of St. Petersburg
Filed under: Hydrogen, Honda, Racing
IndyCar pace vehicles don't have to be gas-gulping, rubber-laying muscle cars. In fact, pace cars can be green machines. Take, for example, the hydrogen-fueled Honda FCX Clarity, which will assume pace car duties at the 2011 Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in late March.
This won't be the first time that an FCX Clarity paced a race (one of Honda's hydrogen-fed sedans paced the 2008 Indy Japan race at the Twin Ring Motegi track) and it's not likely to be the last. It will, however, be the first time that a hydrogen-fueled vehicle paces an IZOD IndyCar Series race within the U.S.
Keep your eyes peeled for the FCX Clarity to make its debut in St. Petersburg, FL, at the Festival of States Parade on March 24th. The FCX's on-track appearance will happen later that day. Hat tip to Roy!
