Bikes & Cars...

Let this serve as your reminder to set the TiVo: The first-ever Green Challenge will take place at the Petit Le Mans race at Road Atlanta October 4. The American Le Mans Series has taken the lead for alternative fuels in professional racing, and it will showcase the strides that have been made in go-fast green cars at its race within a race.

I’ve blogged about the race before, so this is just a recap. Race teams running alternative fuels for the 2008 season include:

• GT1 Class — Corvette Racing, E85
• G2 Class — Aston Martin V8 Vantage, E85
• LMP1 Class — Intersport Racing’s Lola, E85
• P1 Class — Audi R10, clean diesel
