The teams include Imperial College (UK), UCLA (USA) Lawrence Tech (USA) EUPLA (Spain), Group T (Belgium) TU Delft (Netherlands), Delhi College of Engineering (India). These are the automotive engineers of the future!

The Formula Zero vision is to educate and accelerate the introduction of fuel cells into passenger cars and to generate enthusiasm for zero emission technology, the purpose of the Championship is to bring Zero emission racing to city centres and give the public first hand experience of this hydrogen technology.

From 2011 the race class will be scaling up to the City Edition (city races – Formula 3 size) and from 2015 to the Circuit Edition (full size racing)

The London event is to be held adjacent to Tower Bridge, in collaboration with the Hydrogen Partnership, GLA. The Event adjacent to Tower bridge on Potters Fields, will include a race track, a pit lanes and team cabins. The public will be able to view track from all around as well as from Tower Bridge. There will be a VIP area and a media centre, as well as special viewing areas. The VIP facilities will be at London's Living Room, at the GLA (City Hall). The London Event will have a "H2 World" Education Centre alongside the track to teach the general public about Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology

The designs incorporate sustainable strategies of integrated renewable energy, (solar and wind), as well as "reuse" strategies for the track and the pavilions.
