E10 war gestern. Alles muß rein - Frank the Judge - 14.03.2011 Wer mit der Corvette um die Welt fahren will, muß sie so präparieren, dass alles geatnkt werden darf. Hier das Bild vom Gemüsemixer. Price Team Racing will make history in the 'World Race 2011' with their multi-fueled C6, a Corvette that's able to run on 6, yes, 6 different fuels - propane, butane, gasoline, ethanol, methane and alcohol - aiming to prove that the automobile can travel around the world as our predecessors proved in the original Great Race of 1908. Team owner Jerry Price who is also the teams lead driver and technician is no stranger to racing or alternative fuels, and when it comes to the World Race 2011, his enthusiasm is front and center; "I'm honoured to be in the World Race 2011, and look forward to the challenges of the race and the experience of traveling the world!" Jerry will also serve as the Executive Director of the World Race. The 'World Race 2011 New York to Paris' commemorates The Great Auto Race of 1908, a record-breaking epic test of man and machines that covered 22,000 miles over the course of 169 days.That race was won by George Schuster Sr. of Buffalo, New York in his American automobile the 'Thomas Flyer'. That 1908 Race had a lofty goal - to prove the viability of long distance automobile travel at a time when the technology was brand new. The World Race 2011 has a similarly lofty goal - to prove the viability of sustainable and alternative fuels. This years event will cover 23,000 miles and travel through 12 countries. Beginning on April 14th, the race will travel west from New York to San Francisco, then embark by sea to the second leg of the course in Asia, Russia and Europe. Teams of drivers in 26 cars are tested for their endurance and driving skills, and are slated to arrive at the Eiffel Tower on July 11th. http://www.vette-world.net
