Hi-tech and eco-friendly 'carcopter' could replace Formula 1 as a sport, say manufacturers

It looks like a futuristic racing craft from a video game popular more than 25 years ago. But this insect-like flying car should soon be a reality. French company Maca says it plans to test its eco-friendly £665,000 hydrogen-powered'carcopter' on racetracks this year. It will have a top speed of 155mph, meaning a pilot onboard the 23ft craft can give Formula One stars a run for their money. But unlike the gas-guzzling machines driven by Sir Lewis Hamilton and co, this vehicle does not create any CO2 emissions and is fully recyclable.
