The long-term message is clear: If 650-horsepower IndyCar Series cars that cover the length of a football field in 1 second can run safely and effectively on ethanol, so can your automobile. |
Fusion of power and innovation has been a hallmark of the IndyCar Series since its inception. In 2007, the series again will be a technological pioneer with the introduction of 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol in its Honda Indy V-8 engines. |
The Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC) has contracted Renova Energy, based in Torrington, Wyo., to supply 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol to the IndyCar Series throughout the 2007 season. |
