The revolutionary Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell car makes its motorsport debut this weekend at the ADAC Rallye Deutschland, marking the start of a new era of motorsports as it becomes the first hydrogen-powered vehicle to open a World Rally Championship event. Set to run as the ‘zero car’ that precedes the main competition cars through the stages, the privately-owned and entered Mirai will be piloted by its Japanese owner Mitsuhiro Kunisawa. To enable the Mirai to complete its role as the ‘zero car’, Toyota Germany has aided Kunisawa-san in arranging support services for the rally, primarily in the form of a mobile hydrogen refuelling unit that can fill the Mirai’s super-strong hydrogen tanks in only three minutes.
