Long recognized for its leadership in motorsports safety and innovation, the IndyCar Series expanded its role by improving auto racing’s environmental footprint in 2007. After using a blend of 90 percent methanol and 10 percent ethanol in 2006, it successfully converted to 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol earlier this year.
It also is using the Honda Accord Hybrid Pace Vehicle, which runs on electric and gas power as its primary safety vehicle. The IndyCar Series is the first in motorsports to utilize these technologies proven to benefit the environment.
“The IndyCar Series is setting a good example for the rest of the United States and the world by using ethanol, ” said Vitor Meira, who has used ethanol throughout his racing career.
