Ever since the inception of the GrandAm Daytona Prototype series last year, sports car aficionados have argued about what really makes for a "prototype." Well no doubt one example is the Nasamax DM139 that ran at LeMans this past weekend. It is powered by a revolutionary (for racing) bio-ethanol motor, which burns a fuel made up of alcohol distilled from sugar beets and potatoes. It went the distance at LeMans, becoming the first alternative power vehicle to finish the granddaddy of all endurance races.
