Toyoda's first liquid-hydrogen race car races in Japan

The next generation of alternative fuels, so-called carbon neutral fuels, were the focus on and off the track during a race in Shizuoka Prefecture over the weekend.

Fuji International Speedway hosted the latest addition to the Super Taikyu Series, a 24-hour endurance race featuring dozens of cars across several divisions separated by engine size and speed. Toyota tested the world's first liquid-hydrogen race car in the experiment.

The corolla H 2 concept was supposed to debut in March, but it was delayed because of a hydrogen leak in the engine bay that caused a fire. On Sunday, 24 hours after Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda climbed into the driver's seat surrounded by excited fans and curious reporters, it crossed the finish line.
