So logically fewer, longer events creates less pollution than more shorter ones - so the LMS (and Le Mans) fits that argument.
Longer races then please - ie. fewer, bigger events (you other series).
Sorry - that was a bit off topic.
Good thinking that man, so football uses more fuel that Motor Racing, I like it!
My only thought was that they would use us to set an example so perhaps we should beat them to the draw and show benefits earned by running longer on the same tank of fuel, could you calculate something like the callorific value of 100 litres you engineers?

You run into the problem here that fuel mileage and low emissions, on gasoline, are the antithesis of each other.
Centers of automobile prod. spend billions trying to deal with this; to cripple automobile raciing which is already plenty short on teams (at least in the US compared to even 15 years ago) will further deplete the field of regional, or occasional racers who are sadly lacking now.

I go to races to see the bestest, baddest, and orneriest; I read tech. articles for science.

Except that if you have a fast car with a good consumption rate you will be deemed to have an unfair advantage and will be duly penalized. Technical achievement is an outrage you know!
