I am all for it too. Motor Racing could do itself a lot of good by getting more involved in 'greener' forms of transport. As PascaLM says, there will come a time when racing cars will have to do this just to survive.

Well said Adam, on both points. An overall award wasn't even given at Le Mans for the first few years until the organisers realised that that was what most people were interested in!
Le Mans' Index of Performance and Index of Thermal Efficiency awards in the past mean that introducing an 'eco' award is really in keeping with the concepts of the race anyway.
