E10 fuels for ALMS
Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC) have announced that its new E10 fuel has become “the official ethanol-enriched fuel” of the American Le Mans Series. All cars in each class will begin using the fuel with 10 percent ethanol for the entire season.
"At a time when alternative fuel initiatives are in the daily headlines, we could not be more pleased to unite with an organization such as EPIC to aid in spreading the awareness of renewable energy and the benefits of ethanol in the most demanding environment in motorsports: American Le Mans Series sports car racing," said Scott Atherton, President and CEO of the American Le Mans Series.
"We are proud to be associated with one of the fastest growing brands of motorsport in North America," said Tom Slunecka, executive director of EPIC. "With television broadcasts in the U.S., Latin America and Europe, this partnership offers an incredible platform to market the performance and environmental benefits of ethanol, in a variety of engine types, from multiple manufacturers. This will also be the first time that ethanol-enriched fuel will be used in a 12-hour endurance race."
EPIC also is a part of the IRL IndyCar Series, with its new 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol being introduced for the 2007 season.
Also, Rahal Letterman Racing announced today that EPIC has become an associate sponsor on the team’s Porsche 997 RSR GT2 entry.
The official brand of fuel for the ALMS is expected to be announced next week. "
