A bike which runs on biofuel has beaten others in a race in Norfolk after rules were changed to allow the vehicle to enter. Team Inzane, based in Peterborough, won on the Ducati motorbike which is run on bioethanol E85. 

Fuel prices are just ridiculous. Carbon dioxide emissions are screwing up the planet. Whichever way you look at it, the days of petrol-powered cars are numbered. Electric cars are the way of the future. 

For what can only be described as, "the most exciting eco-rally ever", Zero Rally Africa 2009 aims to promote alternative vehicles in more ways than one. This 10-day carbon-neutral road race will stretch 2500 miles and is only open to electric, solar, hybrid, biofuel, and hydrogen vehicles. Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines!
